It is a well known problem that goes way down to libc6. A temporary
workaround is to install libapache-mod-ssl and load it. There is no need
to configure it.

I am closing this bug since all the maintainers from php4 down to libc6
are aware and working actively on this problem. You can check the progress
directly from the BTS on the php4 page.
