We have experienced what appears to be a thread-safety issue with
ssl3_get_server_hello(). It works for the most part but then after traffic
starts to increase on the server utilizing OpenSSL... we get the error:

[Wed Feb 29 12:00:01 2012] [info] SSL Library Error: 336142597
error:14092105:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_HELLO:wrong cipher returned

Here is our version of OpenSSL on this Rhel5 server:

rpm -qa | grep openssl
openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5_4.6
openssl-devel-0.9.8e-12.el5_4.6

What can we do to work-around this problem? 

More about our use case: We have Apache/2.2.21 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.21
OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 configured.

The HTTPD Server has reverse proxy set up to communicate back and forth
between Apache and an VIP of an F5 load balancer. 

The server has good healthy operations until suddenly openSSL seems to break
down with the error above.
