I had a looping problem with SSLeay and OpenSSL which was clearly a
compiler (optimizer) error of the SGI Irix cc and its descendants
(The CDS compiler of Siemens Nixdorf used to suffer from this bug
until V2.0Bsomething.

If this holds for the Alpha compiler as well, openssl should behave
normally if you recompile with the "-g" switch (and no -O switches).

Usually between a few seconds and up to a minute. But usually not longer.

 A "make certificate" or
 an explicit openssl command (openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024)
 create a process that runs forever (at least for 24 hours before I
 killed it...).

I'm sure you've not configured OpenSSL correctly for your Alpha platform. Make
sure you use the correct platform id on the "perl Configure" command line.
Check this first.
