interesting error in that report:

1..9
ok
SSL connect attempt failederror:140943FC:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 
alert bad

I have seen similar errors start to occur when people have used the 0.9.8a 
prebuilt Windows binary openssl from shining light production

Tests here on Mandrake with openssl 0.9.8a are fine :-(
I will try some other platforms later today.
