Apache Signal 11

FWIW,

I've started to experience the same thing which Kyle Mott and "Vlad" 
reported with apache+mod_ssl crashing when SSL is enabled:

#0  0x2840b63c in engine_table_select () from /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3
#1  0x283ebc88 in ENGINE_get_default_RAND () from /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3
#2  0x283eaf6e in RAND_get_rand_method () from /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3
#3  0x283eb07c in RAND_seed () from /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.3
#4  0x2830be47 in ssl_rand_seed () from /usr/local/libexec/apache/libssl.so
#5  0x28307dac in ssl_init_Module () from /usr/local/libexec/apache/libssl.so
#6  0x8055714 in ap_init_modules ()
#7  0x805d8fe in standalone_main ()
#8  0x805e08b in main ()
#9  0x804fcde in _start ()

A few salient points:
  - running FreeBSD-4.11 stable, and the latest apache+mod_ssl port w/ PHP
  - the crash occurs before httpd creates the child processes
  - disabling PHP does not work; disabling SSL works around this
    problem (but is not an acceptable solution, of course :)
  - I don't have any cryptocards, nor have I made any significant
    changes to the system since this started happening.  The system
    uptime was around 40 days, so the process has at least started fine
    40 days ago.
  - rebuilding world and apache+mod_ssl does not help
  - /dev/{u,}random seem to be fine
  - my /tmp is mounted nodev,noexec,nosuid but this has worked with it
    in the past, so should not be an issue.
