Hi,
we need the following to properly fix that issue.

Fixed in 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010] that follows http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5746
  *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
     as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
     turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
     SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
     SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
     know what you are doing.

It should be better to switch to 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
Ideally to switch directly to 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010] to avoid many security issues and reestablish SSL security in Ubuntu, otherwise there will high risk when using ubuntu server edition with services like Apache, Postfix etc...
