Comment (by midnightmagic):

 midnightmagic current TO-DO:

 {{{
 . i386 bare hardware repro
 . both a netbsd-5 kernel and a netbsd-6 kernel, with RND_VERBOSE and
 RND_DEBUG enabled, and with `int rnd_debug = 0xf;' in sys/dev/rnd.c
 (netbsd-5) or sys/kern/kern_rndq.c (netbsd-6)
 . (optional) As for the RSA issue -- can you figure out how to print the
 Integer objects in a way that you can reliably read back in a test program
 that does the same computation as InvertibleRSAFunction::CalculateInverse?
 (m_n, m_e, r, rInv, re (before and after modn.Multiply), y)
 }}}
