What this sounds like is you've got an openssl library with deliberately
broken renegotiate behavior.  Google for CVE-2009-3555 to learn
something about why that might be.

Assuming that "8.4SS" actually means 8.4.3 or later, you can work around
this by setting ssl_renegotiation_limit to zero in the server.  But it'd
be better to get a copy of libssl with an actual fix, rather than a
braindead kluge, for the CVE problem.

I'm not real sure which of the two ssl libraries you've got is at fault
(they might both be :-()
