Ummm ... I had generally been using 0.9.7-dev CVS with mod_ssl without any
great grief for some time. I would go so far as to guess what the problem
is ... modssl's (auto)configuration script does a couple of regexp checks
on the openssl version to tweak building. I remember thinking the choice
of filtering was odd, and it's quite possible that the version being
interpreted from the beta release is confusing the config checks.

At a guess, the UID issue is probably one where Ralf has a fallback
implementation in modssl for older versions of openssl that didn't have
it. Was the compiler/linker warning about conflicting definitions between
openssl libs and modssl? If so, try checking out the "configure" script
where it attempts to parse the openssl version. I can't look at this right
now but if you can't get it sorted feel free to mail me back in a day or
two and perhaps I will have time. Basically you'd want modssl to convince
itself that the beta is the same sort of thing as "0.9.7-dev".

OTOH: It might be something else different altogether :-)

Cheers,
Geoff
