I've no RedHat box available, so I cannot help you here. But when these are
production machines you should be carefully. Only upgrade or downgrade libc
when you really know what you're doing. Then the best way for you is to
install a different machine under RH 5.1 (where people didn't reported
problems), try mod_ssl there and when it goes fine you can thing about
upgrading the OS on your production machine. I recommend you to consult any
RH/Linux-related newsgroups or mailing lists for this, because we usually
cannot help you here, of course.

It's not related to the CPU, IMHO. I'm sure you messed up something
related to your libc or the compiler.

Yes "originally", but know you have a different installation.... ;-)
