Do you also have a zfs root?  That's what triggers it for me.  There's
no mention of a "device random seed" anywhere in the kernel source, so
I just patched lsof to always return OK and a seed of zero from
dev2udev, and everything seems to work okay.  Try putting the attached
patch in the files subdirectory of the lsof port and rebuild.
