Red Hat broke their openssl libraries - badly.  It appears they spent 
time knocking out anything that could have patent problems, but since 
they didn't change the version numbers or signatures, things still link 
against their libraries but crash later.

Avoid any RH crypto code for this reason.  In general recompile all 
packages for your own environment.
