In the meantime we found out that things work with an additional openssl 
package installed, 0.9.7e. Since it's installed into the same prefix as KDE, 
it's even preferred by klibloader and, after a relogin, things work again. It 
does indeed look like that the base system openssl shipped in FreeBSD 4.11 
and FreeBSD 5.3 is different, although it's supposedly both 0.9.7d. 

What's funny is that with the same base system openssl, on the same machine, 
kmail 1.7 from KDE 3.3.2 works just fine, I've installed and deinstalled 
3.3.2 and 3.4.0 a few times to check, so I'm still as confused as before 
regarding the actual cause of the error.

Can you perhaps guess/explain what is actually failing? If I understood what's 
going wrong in openssl, I could start looking there.
