Hi,

Brian Warner did a new release of his EGD and has to say this about
it:

egd-0.6 fixes a bug in which draining the entropy pool with blocking reads
would leak a filehandle. The typical symptom was that EGD would die on solaris
with a "couldn't fork: Too many open files" error during the gnupg 'make
check' sequence. egd-0.6 also includes better documentation on using EGD with
GPG

It should be available on all GnuPG FTP mirrors now; master server's
URL is:

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/egd/egd-0.6.tar.gz
 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/egd/egd-0.6.tar.gz.asc

Brian's server is:

 ftp://ftp.lothar.com/linux/egd-0.6.tar.gz
