Description:
Installing the above RPM on a Fedora Core 5.0 system with openssl 0.9.8a-5.2 causes segmentation faults in SSL_library_init() as called from Apache 2.2.0 and Apache 2.2.2 when loading mod_perl.  

Replacing the shared libraries with 5.0.20-0 allows httpd -t to complete with "Syntax OK", whereas the response with 5.0.21-0 is "Segmentation fault".  I localized the fault to the call to SSL_library_init() within the mod_ssl code, backtracked RPMs installed over the last 24hrs and re-installed them one at a time until I found this one caused the fault

The other MySQL RPMs I use -- server, client & devel, are all installed at 5.0.21-0 level without incident, only --shared- results in the error.

How to repeat:
Install 5.0.20 shared libraries.  Configure httpd with mod_authz_mysql and mod_ssl.  Run 'httpd -t'. Update to 5.0.21 and run 'httpd -t' again.  It will fault.

Verified, 5.0.21 shared library has openssl-like symbols exported.

All openssl-like symbols in YaSSL code should be defined as macros by some glue layer and none of these should be exported by mysqlclient.

Patch 7095 looks good to me.  Nice work.

Pushed to 5.0.23
[7 Jun 2006 9:29] Magnus Blåudd 
Pushed to 5.1.12
[7 Jun 2006 9:30] Magnus Blåudd 
Pushed fix that renames all functions from yaSSL that would otherwise conflict with those in OpenSSL.

Noted in 5.0.23, 5.1.12 changelogs.

This fix did not completely resolve the problem.  I have recompiled httpd/mod_ssl with the latest headers/libraries and the server will still not load if a shared library beyond 5.0.20 is used.

That behavior could have been fixed in Bug#21930 (5.0.25) - there we completely got rid of clashing symbols.

Same issues with MySQL 5.0.26-max, PHP 5.1.6, Apache 2.2.3 on Mac OS X Intel 10.4.8 Compiling PHP without mysql-support works fine...
