+What CPU is this happening with?
+
+git-annex generates uuids using <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/uuid>
+and the V4 uuid uses <https://hackage.haskell.org/package/entropy>,
+which in turn uses RDRAND when available. 
+
+So if your CPU supports RDRAND, it seems the CPU must have a broken
+random number generator! Or there's a bug in that software stack
+somewhere.

+Do you mean you don't get anything different? Surely that outputs
+something. Or exits with a nonzero exit code.
