Symptoms

Starting up the UCM Managed Server takes over 5 minutes. The UCM server logs show a 5 minute delay between the following lines:

####<Oct 5, 2011 1:35:14 PM CEST> <Info> <IIOP> <ath-bv-ucm-klif> <AdminServer> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <> <> <> <1317814514503> <BEA-002014> <IIOP subsystem enabled.>
####<Oct 5, 2011 1:35:18 PM CEST> <Info> <Security> <ath-bv-ucm-klif> <AdminServer> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <> <> <> <1317814518791> <BEA-090894> <Successfully loaded the OPSS Policy Provider using oracle.security.jps.internal.policystore.JavaPolicyProvider.>

A java thread dump (taken using a "kill -3 <pid>" on the java process) shows the following thread stack:

Note that the "hang" occurs when native code is trying to seed the random number generator.
