Oops.

In my ~/.xemacs/init.el I've got:

;;; until openssl starts looking for /var/run/egd-pool on its own.
(setq imap-ssl-program
      '("openssl s_client -rand /var/run/egd-pool -ssl3 -connect %s:%p"))

The reason why I did this was to add the -rand option (this is on a
Solaris box without /dev/{random,urandom}).  So I need to add the
-quiet option.  Is that the reason for the hanging?  Sure will be
glad when openssl-0.9.7 is out.

Interesting....
