Hello Mike,

The effort is very much appreciated!

However, the patched version compiles fine, but is very unstable for
me on a RHL 7.1 x86 box (all updates).  The logs show "successful"
negotiation and content serving to the client.  No error messages, no
segfaults, no core dumps.

The problem I'm seeing seems to be some sort of an unexpected / early
disconnection of the browser from the webserver.  I've tried IE & NS 6
(SSLv3) on WIN2k and Mozilla (TLSv1) & Konqueror 2.1.1 (SSLv3) under
X11  (same box the webserver resides on).

For example, the initial "You succeeded in installing the software"
screen loads fine on all browsers that I've tried.  Going beyond that
is pot-luck.

NS6 can't get beyond that page (no errors, just doesn't move when you
click on a link).  IE 6 can only get to chapter 3 of the mod_ssl
manual and bits of the apache manual (rest produce the infamous MS
"DNS Error".  Mozilla can't get beyond the initial page (same as NS6).
Neither can Konqueror (which reports "connection to host is broken"
when trying to proceed beyond initial page).

All browsers are properly served a 404 or 400 error page.

I've tried compiling against the pre-installed RH OpenSSL libraries,
and also against freshly downloaded / configured v0.9.6b sources.
Doesn't seem to make a difference.

Compiling w/o the 10x patches produces a fully working mod_ssl enabled
server, and the exact same logfile content (!).

I'm following the mod_ssl instructions exactly, including mm-1.1.3.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
