Did you have mod_ssl loaded in the previous configuration? 

Versions of OpenSSL older than 0.9.8c can crash when reading from the 
random device on some platforms when the fd number returned by open has 
been pushed above the FD_SETSIZE setting.  If that's really the cause 
then there are a number of possible choices:

1) disable mod_ssl
2) recompile OpenSSL with -DFD_SETSIZE=4096 if the platform allows this
3) upgrade to a newer OpenSSL
