OpenVPN uses the cipher-independent EVP layer of OpenSSL as an interface to the symmetric cipher algorithms. In the current 0.9.7 snapshot, the EVP API has been modified so it is incompatible with 0.9.6 -- this is probably the cause of the crash. I had the same result when I tried to test OpenVPN with 0.9.7 and AES-256. I know there's some discussion going on about fixing this, so the EVP API stays compatible. If you need something right now, I have a simple patch for 0.9.7 which will restore the 0.9.6 EVP behavior. When I applied this patch, OpenVPN ran fine with 0.9.7 and the AES-256 cipher.
