RSA_flags? Yes, then it's the DSO-problem I've found last weekend. It occurs
because when SSLeay is linked to a DSO under non-smart platforms like Linux or
FreeBSD it _HAS_ to be compiled with "-fPIC" (gcc) or "-KPIC" (SVR4 cc), etc.
Insert this flag into your platform line in SSLeay's Configure script and
recompile SSLeay and relink mod_ssl's libssl.so. The problem went away for me
then. Alternatively you can build mod_ssl without DSO? Or do you already
compiling mod_ssl statically? When this is the case I've still no clue why the
RSA part of SSLeay dumps core.
