 Calling {{{ cat /dev/urandom }}} in Terminal hangs it after some time.
 Happens earlier on real hardware, intel core 2 duo, but it's reproducible
 also on vmware (just wait some more).
 Only Terminal hangs. Rest of the system is fine.
 Piping the command with "less" doesn't make it hang.
 Gcc4 hybrid.
