This is a bug report for perl from ric@ms.telcom.arizona.edu,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
When running
	cpan -i Net::SSLeay
OR when building the downloaded SSLeay 1.25 manually, the build dies
in the test section with the dreaded "Out of memory!" in
	examples/tcpcat.pl
I've tried turning on SSLeay tracing (Net::SSleay::$trace = 3) in
tcpcat.pl, but that makes the error vanish.  Running
  truss	/usr/local/bin/perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch -I. \
   -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/sun4-solaris \
   -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1 \

   -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl -I. examples/tcpcat.pl \
    127.0.0.1 1211 ssleay-tcp-test
shows the following just before the "Out of memory!":

  write(2, " O u t   o f   m e m o r".., 15)	= 15

Note the very LARGE value being passed to the last brk()...
