I've had exactly the same problem for an Apache 1.3.12 / mod_ssl 2.6.2 /
OpenSSL 0.9.5 running on Win NT 4. I was using the Netscape 4.6 browser,
either on NT or Linux. And actually, IE 4.0 had the same problem. That
is, although it didn't crash, it would give an error message and if then
checked the SSL log, it would have identical displays.
The problem only occurs when requiring clients to authenticate (having
specified "SSLVerifyClient require").
The odd thing was, it did initially work with the NS 4.6 as well as the
IE 4.0 browser. And one day, for no obvious reason, it just didn't work
any more. At that point, a downgrade to a previous version of Apache /
modssl / openssl that had worked fine for quite some time, didn't make
the problem go away, which made me wonder if the problem could be date
related.
I've now upgraded to NS 4.72 and IE 5.0 on Win NT, and the problem has
gone away. But if I connect to the same configuration from my NS 4.6
browser on Linux, the browser crashes.
