Personally, I find sslscan (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sslscan/) an 
invaluable tool to see just what the server accepts and what it does not....

I am afraid more context is needed to understand this issue (what is the 
server,
how is it configured, what crypto options are set on the server and 
client etc.).

However the error messages seem to indicate that something (probably the
other end of the connection) has specified a very insecure (much less than
1024 bits) cryptographic key size to be used with the Diffie-Hellman public
key algorithm.

Alternatively, something is wrong on a fundamental protocol level and the
old OpenSSL library in your copy of stunnel misunderstands completely,
spitting out nonsense error messages.

Of cause there is also the possibility that you are under attack and the
attacker is trying to mess with the encryption in a way that OpenSSL
is actually detecting and blocking to protect you.
