Why the latest rather than a prior stable if you are having
problems? Basic debugging practice is to alter one variable
at a time from the last known working configuration.

Why? UDP is more tested

What does high logging under openvpn, or a tcpdump trace
listing for traffic only on your communication port show?

I use OpenVPN extensively, on Centos-3 series hosts, and have
no problems. It may be useful to build from the files at:
ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/openvpn/
- and -
ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/lzo/
which are known to produce a stable and functional VPN mesh
Good luck
