Thanks for answering Götz' question. After some more testing we observed
the (mis-)behaviour on Solaris 8 too.

If I understand you correctly you are using Apache 1.3.26, mod_ssl (I
guess you are using 2.8.10), openssl and an nCipher-Box with
libnfhwchrk.so.

Are you using the engine-branch of openssl, right out of the box,
without any modifications?

Which version of libnfhwchrk.so do you have? Which size does the library
have?

We are currently trying to get the libnfhwchrk.so stuff to work with
OpenSSL engine 0.9.6g, but after some thousand SSL-Connects the ncipher
box is blocked and we see error messages like "nFast KM: error: Module
#1: LoadBlob (BlobPubKNSO) failed: NoMemory" followed by something awful
from OpenSSL.

Of course we are trying to resolve the issue with nCipher, but in the
meantime it would be nice to here from someone who succeeded with this
setup (mod_ssl, engine-branch, libnfhwchrk.so).

Regards,
  Jürgen
