Forgot to mention. Unstable tree.

I don't know. It should just work with the OpenSSL, but we don't with  
the latest version because of a bug there. I got the EVPFinalFailure  
one, not a crash, so you've got a different issue. I feel this is a  
temporary fix for the problem, which should go away when the Solaris  
OpenSSL is upgraded.

I have a SPARC box running Solaris 10 U3, so I might give it a go  
there too if you don't have any success.
