Hang on successful log in...

G'Day,
I have Dropbear server (0.46) running on an embedded system, however, I
have had trouble connecting to it. Things seem to be running normally
most of the time, however, when I successfully log in (if I
intentionally type the password wrong, the log in fails in the expected
manner) everything simply hangs. I had assumed it was an entropy issue,
so I recompiled with /dev/urandom selected, rather than /dev/random, in
options.h, but the problem remains --- perhaps it still is an entropy
issue, but I understand urandom should spit out any old garbage when it
runs. I also checked to see if it were simply a long delay in the log
in sequence, but after an hour or so there was still no change.
If anyone can offer any advice to what the problem may be, it would be
greatly appreciated.
