I do not see this on my HP-UX machine, I however do have a $HOME/.rnd file
to serve as RANDFILE.
Of course you set the RANDFILE variable to the name of a file that can
be used to retrieve from and write back random data, didn't you.

Ok, I just did exactly this. OpenSSL 0.9.6 on HP-UX 10.20. Then, I entered
exec /UNIX_Systems/cgi-bin/ov_ping_apps.cgi

The result:

<head><title>openview</title></head>

This leaves the question on what to do next to track down your problem...
read:errno=0 means SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL with an errno of 0 (connection closed).
Can you tcpdump the session check, whether data is really leaving the HP
when you entered the exec command? (And the server should answer, of course).
More testing could be performed with Erik Rescorlar's ssldump utility, it
can be used instead of tcpdump to capture packets or to analyze dump files:
