Yup, that's exactly what it is. Try uninstalling Erlang and
reinstalling.
If that doesn't work, it may be a MacPorts problem, you could try
from source.
Thanks for your advice.
Uninstalling and reinstalling Erlang didn't help, but I did observe
that $macport_home/lib/erlang/lib/crypto-1.5.1.1 is empty apart from a
docs dir and an info file.
Upgrading openssl to openssl 0.9.8h_0 made no difference.
Installing Erlang from source elicited no errors, and the crypto dir
is populated, but crypto.start(). stil gives me the same error **
exception error: bad function 'crypto.start'
Can you double check that the 'erl' that you built from source is
the first that gets found in your PATH?
In related news, you might want to try this:

The Erlang readme states that the build is tested on OS X 10.5.3, so I
may try using Ubuntu in VMWare in the short term until it's tested on
10.5.4.
