Thanks. Yes, when I installed the latest stunnel-4.36 it works.

One strange thing I notice. When I do ssl connect with psql I am
supposed to get a message like

SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256)

With client side stunnel and (nonssl capable) psql I am not getting
this message. But still the connection seems to be ssl..
