I hacked out the usleep() call (and I can't believe a 10ms delay 
is your problem!), and this time it came back:

Entropy collection completed!

8 seconds per byte. Hmm. Clearly something is afoot.

I'm also having the same issues as Marcel after a COMPLETED run.

I see that you are using a 32-byte array, so I hashed G~, G~\0, and:

47 7e 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

and none of them came to 
6249e6faa58831154f6df352c843a316a98c6b1eb57baa61a8bf4401e3726988

Sorry.
