Just to make sure it's the same problem, if you use the latest openssl and
log in at the console and try to use outgoing ssh, do you get the same
message "Illegal instruction (core dumped)"? If so, can you report at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1022346 which CPU(s) your
machines are using? The maintainer says that for me, it's a problem with my
specific CPU (Cyrix M II), and had a workaround that works for me (see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1022346#c5 ), but if it's
affecting more CPUs, he needs to know that, and it would be nice if it was a
more general bug that can be fixed without workarounds for specific CPUs.
Thanks.
