Problems with SSL/TLS connections and cyrus-imapd-2.2.5

[Roland Pope]

Hi,

I am running cyrus-imapd-2.2.5 under WhiteBox Linux 3 (Rebuild of rhel3)
with Berkley DB 4.1.25. I installed from Simon's RPMS after rebuilding from
his src RPM, and I am having issues with SSL/TLS.
A proportion of my SSL/TLS connections are failing for unknown reasons with
the following messages in syslog.

Not all TLS connections are failing with this error. Does anyone have any
idea what might be causing this problem?


Thanks
