This is http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12355 - which was fixed in 2.2.0; you can apply this patch to 2.0.x releases:

Thanks - that certainly looks like the problem. I notice that there
are some potential workarounds mentioned on that page. Is there
an "official" workaround, or should someone with a 2.0 Apache simply
bite the bullet and apply the patch ? (or move to 2.2.0 ?)


Ignore all the patches in the PR other than the one I referenced above - that is the same as the code which went into 2.2. There is no "official" fix for 2.0 unless and until something gets committed, but the above patch is as close as you'll get until then.


Right. Howver, by "workaround" I was referring to a configuration
change (maybe adding that SSLOptions +OptRenegotiate ?).

I'm unclear as to why the error message suggests a config fix, but
a patch is necessary - I guess the question is, if I can fix the
problem by changing the config (and it's not clear to me yet if I can),
what does the patch buy me ? The closing of a security hole maybe ?
