There are 2 or 3 emails in the archive that discussed this
problem relating to the SUSE distribution of linux. It seems
as if all the latest flavors of linux may have this problem. I'm
not too clear about what all this DBM Cache stuff is, but to
solve your problem, edit your httpd.conf file and change the
"SSLSessionCache" option to "none". There is an option which you can
re-compile into your apache to actually fix the problem rather than
disable it. I forgot the line, but it went something like "--enableSSL
dbmscache". Check the archives to find the correct syntax.
