Hmmm....
I wonder if it be better then to try an earlier version of OpenSSL? I will
do the code hack but... if I comment out that code what ripple effect is
possible?
I tried the various apache builds from 1.3.6 and up and still had the same
effect. I had been thinking it was the OpenSSL afterall, even tho I could
make certs. This kinda cinches it. I am using OpenSSL 0.9.5
I'll crosspost this to the openssl list tomorrow when I get to work. See if
anyone else has come across this issue.
My thanks.
