This error seems to be related to the randome initialization daemon. I had
problems of this sort on Solaris too. This could be related to the chaos
generation function -- anyway I have put an old OpenSSL SNAP, this should
work. Please try it and report back. You can find it at the ftp site in
the tools/ dir -- from tomorrow it should be available on mirrors too.

The latest versions of TRIStateCGI should fix the first bug reported (web
parameters checking and input object generation) -- this is openssl related,
I think we have to wait until the problem is solved. If you have this problem,
report it to the openssl-devel mailing list too, please.
