Philip, thanks for the help. I believe to have found the problem.

I didn't apply the older patch: http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:23.openssl.asc  which made a tiny change to the line  if (len-- == 0)  to  if (len-- <= 0)

Hence, when doing the new update, it failed. 

I've changed the patch file to recognize the older format and that seems to have fixed it.

Best,

Tamouh
