That was my initial goal in initiating this conversation.  I provided
a link to the patches already:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/jaunty/openssl/jaunty-proposed/revision/34

I installed the jaunty package on my lenny machines and the ff error
console warning is gone:

https://debian-lenny.badercom.net/

It appears to work but whenever a package as critical as openssl is
modified it's important to have upstream take a look to make sure
everything looks good.  Ubuntu may or may not have done this, I
haven't done the leg work to figure that out but it looks like that
could be the next step.  If I/we/whoever can verify this or gain the
blessing of upstream would you consider updating the package Kurt if I
also coordinate this with the Debian apache and nginx packagers?
