Bus Error using SSLeay

[orgz at mac.com]

I'm using the current SSLeay module (p5-crypt-ssleay) module in a  
perl script that is trying to get an https URL but it always fails  
and reports a bus error (i.e., no bus error on http URLs).  I am  
running Mac OS X 1.4.9 and have XCode 2.4.1 installed.  I think  
10.4.9 may be the problem because the mod date for libmx.A.dylib  
looks like it was the day I installed 10.4.9.  So, I'm looking for  
confirmation from those who know better that this is probably the  
case and to see if there is an reasonable solution to fix this  
problem.  Or, would I have to restore to a pre-10.4.9 state? All of  
my ports are up to date. Here is the perl crash log:
