I'm still getting intermittent SSL errors on my apache2 server (apache 
2.2.9-10 on Debian lenny running mpm-worker). Restarting apache seems to 
help in that I get the problem less frequently. But I was able to get 
the error message with wget running on the server in question, so it 
isn't a networking issue:

user at example:/tmp$ wget -d -v -S https://example.com
Setting --verbose (verbose) to 1

I can run the command again and it will sometimes work, sometimes not.

Any ideas what is going on? Nothing shows up in the logs, even with 
LogLevel=debug for apache.

Thanks,

Ben
