For those interested on the mailing list, a DEC PWS 500a running Linux
kernel 2.2.3 returned MUST results from ~7.18 to ~7.20 on a series
of ten 50k samples taken from /dev/urandom. In other words, consistent
with the results of ~7.19 reported by others running Linux (but on x86).

Perhaps you've already taken care of this, but..
When you refer to raw tcpdumps (of IPSEC traffic), I assume you are
stripping the tcpdump header and non-data information first?
Not that their presence will likely affect your results, but one
must wonder. I might have a small sniffer sitting around that dumps
just the raw traffic (ie. no headers or extraneous information) if
you would like to test it as well.
