We do have a serious problem with OpenSSL on RHEL 5.5. The installed
version is 0.9.7 . Our application calls the function getpid() or
whatever and this leads the application to crash. We've contacted our
software vendor and they told us the root cause of the problem lies
within the OpenSSL libraries. We found a record on the OpenSSL buglist
which describes a similar problem. I don't know if this is exactly the
same problem: #2591: bug report : cryptlib.c : within
CRYPTO_thread_id() use pthread_self() instead of getpid() .

However, we need the help of the OpenSSL crew/community to resolve
this issue, because we do not belive that our software vendor will
implement a workaround in the software.
