FWIW, I cannot reproduce this problem using 8.4.latest on Fedora 13 64bit.
So it might indeed be something specific to the openssl version you're
using. I assume you tested that the problem goes away if you use a
non-SSL connection?

The openssl installation I'm testing with is
openssl-1.0.0a-1.fc13.x86_64
I don't know offhand what RHEL/CentOS 5.x are using but it's probably
quite a lot older.
