That's terrible advice as a first thing to try; /dev/urandom is not a
secure random number generator, and doing this will compromise security
for all things it's used for on the computer, not just for exim.

It may well be the solution the OP ends up with, but it should only be
reached after very carefully weighing the risks and first trying
alternatives (such as configuring additional entropy sources in the
kernal). It certainly shouldn't be used diagnostically.
