mod_ssl documentation at

http://www.modssl.org/source/exp/mod_ssl/pkg.mod_ssl/INSTALL

has this to say:

"Additionally OpenSSL has problems under DSO situations on some
platforms. For instance under smart ix86 platforms like Linux
and FreeBSD when you compile a the standard OpenSSL
libcrypto.a/libssl.a libraries and link those to a mod_ssl DSO 
libssl.so all works fine.  While on other platforms like Solaris
2.6 on a SPARC OpenSSL's code will dump core under run-time.
When this is the case for you, then try to recompile OpenSSL
with Position Independent Code (PIC) by adding a `-fPIC' (for
GCC) or `-KPIC' (for SVR4-style compilers) to the platform
configuration line in OpenSSL's `Configure' script.  The
- -fPIC option above when you build OpenSSL."
