So, I think this is an issue with newer host Perl and OpenSSL 1.0.1g. This 
looks like it might be the patch that fixes it:

https://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commit;h=23f5908ac753b176af2a0690e0ebb53c95ef192b

If so we can apply this in daisy (master already has 1.0.1h which includes 
this fix.)

Cheers,
Paul
