It seems my system is running with an relatively old version of the
Tomcat Native Library and old versions of APR and OpenSSL.

Tomcat Native 1.1.19
APR 1.3.8
OpenSSL 0.9.8k


These are the latest versions available:

Tomcat Native 1.1.23
APR  1.4.6
OpenSSL 1.0.1c

I will try disabling the Tomcat Native Library to see if this solves
the problem.
Has anyone experience problems of Tomcat 7 running with these versions?
