Sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find anything
obvious after searching the mail list archives for hours.

Moving a site from an old Stronghold DEC UNIX Alpha server to a 
Solaris 2.6 server running....

 Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) ApacheJServ/1.0 PHP/3.0.9 mod_perl/1.19 
 mod_ssl/2.3.1 OpenSSL/0.9.3a. 

The site in question uses SSL and everything works just fine for 
recent MS and NS browsers.  The problem is with MS and NS 3.X
browsers which give errors like this...

   (Netscape 3.01)
   The security library has experienced a databas error
   You will probably be unable to connect to this site securely.

If I turn off "SSL v3" on NS, and only use v2, things work.

The log files show the 
following....

A dump of the certificate shows no obvious problems.

Any help or pointers on why older browsers are having problems 
connecting to Apache/mod_ssl/openssl would be most appreciated.
Is this truly a Certificate issue/foul-up?  If so, how do I remedy.
Thanks.
