openvpn from EPEL (+ the stack off libs needed and taken from EPEL, too 
) worked for me fine ever since it has been included over there. I am 
using openvpn-2.1-0.29.rc15.el5.x86_64 in this very moment.
The version from rpmforge did indeed exhibit the same error as Paul has 
seen (reason for the switch to EPEL, to be honest)
