GnuTLS after many apache reloads

Describe the bug

After 1000-2000 reloads of apache2 Error in GnuTLS initialization: Failed to acquire random data. is logged in error.log of apache multiple times per reload.
These messages are gone after restarting apache.
It doensn't matter which ModSec rules are loaded.
It's happen with only 'SecRuleEngine On' in security.conf of apache, too.

To Reproduce
systemctl restart apache2; for i in $(seq 1 10000); do echo $i; systemctl reload apache2 >/dev/null; if tac /var/log/apache2/error.log | grep -E 'Doing graceful restart|Graceful restart requested|shutting down gracefully' -m 1 -B 1000 | grep Err -q; then break; fi; sleep 0,5; done; date

Expected behavior

these error should'nt be logged or the reasen should be clear

Start with the supplied 10,000-reload reproduction and compare Apache error logs during graceful reloads with only SecRuleEngine On in security.conf. Review the referenced Apache paths, including mod_socache_shmcb.c, ssl_engine_io.c, and ssl_engine_kernel.c; done means the repeated GnuTLS errors and child segmentation faults have a documented cause and a verified resolution or clear diagnostic.
