2.2.9 testing with OpenSSL 0.9.8h

[Rainer Jung]

This is only an info for others who might run into the same problem:

I used the httpd test suite for httpd 2.2.9 in combination with OpenSSL 
0.9.8h (the recent version).

The test suite calls

    openssl  \
    req -new -key keys/client_revoked.pem -out csr/client_revoked.csr \
    -passin pass:httpd -passout pass:httpd -config \
    conf/client_revoked.cnf

at the beginning. With OpenSSL 0.9.8h this crashes (Solaris) resp. gives 
a malloc error (Linux).

This is not an httpd bug. If one uses an older openssl (e.g. 0.9.8g) in 
the PATH but still runs httpd/mod_ssl with 0.9.8h, there is no SSL test 
failure.

The corresponding OpenSSL bug is already known and fixed in CVS:
