[grsec] pid randomization problem - process won't execute and will return zero value

It seems that the problem occurs on a regular Linux kernel as well, it 
just takes longer (tested on 2.6.11.12):
spender at gw:~$ time until /bin/false; do :; done

real    1m28.695s
user    0m15.730s
sys     0m42.141s

spender at gw:~$ time until /bin/false; do :; done

real    54m1.585s
user    14m23.566s
sys     35m39.655s

So is the problem that it happens too quickly with a grsec kernel?
Also, am I the only one who can replicate this problem in a clean Linux 
kernel?
