[Box Backup] Exception: Cipher EVPFinalFailure (5/6)

[Marco Bartholomew]

(**Sorry if this message comes through twice, I forgot to make the first 
one text-only.**)

I'm getting this error now too, and was wondering if there were any 
developments in this area.

I recently upgraded our servers (running Linux - ArchLinux) from kernel 
2.6.17 to 2.6.20, and openssl was upgraded as well.  It appeared as if 
everything was running OK, but when I checked the logs, I noticed these 
errors on all our servers (all running the same distro and version.)  
Times are correct on all servers, and nothing else had changed except
for the upgrade.  Our window clients appear to be working normally.
