Oh joy.

While this tor will work with an openssl patched to fix CVE-2009-3555
(the renegotiation/rfc5746 thing), it will break with the CVE-2010-3864
fix (TLS extension parsing race), which is already prepared and ready to
be released on security.d.o.  *sigh*

Upstream is currently evaluating a one-line patch in Tor as a workaround
for openssl changing its behavior again[0].

I'm really sorry you have to deal with all this mess.  Will keep you
posted.
