That's good to know.

solo-conserver> You can see the problem just by running:
solo-conserver> autoreconf -vf
solo-conserver> ./configure --with-openssl
solo-conserver> make
solo-conserver> make test

Can you give more details on your evironment, and the exact version of
openssl you have installed?

Also, looking at your patch, I see that you removed DH_new() call, but
never replaced it.  So I wonder if that's part of the problem?
