I am using mod_ssl-2.8.4-1.3.20, and in the CHANGES file for this version,
there is this entry:
Changes with mod_ssl 2.6.2 (29-Feb-2000 to 02-Mar-2000)
*) Added an FAQ entry about the "less entropy for the PRNG"
problem which now becomes "popular" ;) with OpenSSL 0.9.5.
Have you searched the mod_ssl FAQ for this entry?
