This is a RedHat Enterprise 3 system (current update) on an x86 HP 
Proliant system.  This logs look like this from the link page on up.  
For instance, when SSL is enabled for the admin server, these are the 
entries for the root page ("Services for Users" at the top):

Where x.x.x.x is the client system.  Funny thing is, I get that page - 
it's just slow.  But if I go into the DS Gateway (and I can), only parts 
of the pages manage to get received by the client.   The "Fedora 
Administration Express 
<http://biowulf.nih.gov:49657/admin-serv/tasks/configuration/HTMLAdmin?op=index>" 
section does the same.  Images, for instance, successfully get fetched 
at random and many parts of the forms never manage to get downloaded.  
The log output looks the same however: a "can't resolve host" line 
followed by a "segfault" line for almost everything.  Here's a piece of 
the "Directory Gateway" front page:

Here's the output when accessing via the Java console (which attaches 
via a different interface):

The console appears to work, but I haven't done a lot of testing.  It is 
what I use to turn SSL on and off.

If I turn SSL off, here's the root (Services for User) page from a browser:

With SSL off, everything works quickly and nicely with the exception of 
these log entries.

The client name/address and the system's name/address, do resolve 
correctly via DNS.

The LDAP portion of the server works fine over SSL.
