We recently upgraded to version 8.4.18 within our product but this upgrade has 
caused SSL connections to fail when OpenSSL is in FIPS mode.

We receive the following error:
2014-02-20 01:44:23 PST [9339]: [1-1] db=[unknown],user=[unknown] LOG:  could 
not accept SSL connection: decryption failed or bad record mac

While looking through the recent changes, we found that commenting out the 
"RAND_cleanup();" call in "src/backend/postmaster/fork_process.c" allows the 
connection to succeed.

Any ideas on why this "RAND_cleanup();" would cause SSL failure in FIPS mode?
Is there a work around?  Or is this possibly a known issue?

Thanks.
