[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#338006: Workaround

This bug also breaks subversion (see #336373; the bug was closed but
it's still broken).

For subversion, which goes through apache, I found that a workaround
is to limit the ciphers on the Apache end.  Removing all SSLv3 ciphers
except RC4 seems to do the trick.  For example, my apache2
configuration now has:

  SSLCipherSuite SSLv2:-LOW:-EXPORT:RC4+RSA

Perhaps a similar workaround can help Nessus et al. until this bug
finally gets fixed.
