Re: SSL error: decryption failed or bad record mac : more clues

Hi Jonathan,

I looked at the the kerberos thread you mentioned below. I have had some 
problems with dynamic libraries for some Darwinports builds, e.g., 
openssh, and I wonder if this could be related. (Although, it is weird 
that this error is related to the size of the import. It seems like a 
dylib problem would break the executable completely.)

Anyway, I uninstalled and cleaned out the whole chain of dependencies 
back to zlib and libiconv (subversion, apache2, apr, apr-util, neon, 
expat, mod_python, libssl, openssl, zlib, libiconv), and then rebuilt 
subversion. Before that, I had tried reverting to older versions to no 
avail. (Yes, I restarted the httpd -D SSL deamons between each 
reversion/build). I still get exactly the same error.

But ... now Darwinports can build openssh without a conflict between 
symbols from dylibs in /opt/local and /usr/local. Unfortunately, I don't 
know if the openssh portfile had changed between my previous, 
unsuccessful, attempts to build openssh and today's attempt.

I will post more details tomorrow, when I get back to a computer that 
alllows me to cut and paste from a terminal window and the email 
program. I'll also start cross-posting to the darwinports list.

This is so strange, because I have been using subversion for over a year 
without seeing this problem, even with large projects/working copies.
