>Description:
I recently updated from FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p5 to 8.0-RELEASE-p1 and did a full reinstall of all ports. After reinstalling irc/xchat attempting to connect to a SSL enabled server as I had previously done resulted in the following error:

Connection failed. Error: (336151568) error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure

I can connect to the same server without any problems using pidgin IRC as well as Chatzilla on this same desktop. 

Looking through Google a similar error with xchat occured in Linux when SSLv3 with newer extensions were implemented in OpenSSL 0.9.8g. The solution was to dumb down OpenSSL so it didn't use the extension. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Install xchat on FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1.
Attempt to connect to an SSL secured irc server.
