I can reproduce the problem when entering a challenge password here.
The strace shows that openssl tries to allocate 1919287296 = 0x72660000
bytes right after I entered a password.  This fails (and rightly so)
with ENOMEM.  Reverting openssl to 0.9.8g-1 fixes this problem.  I can't
follow up on this for a month, so probably you should just revert to
0.9.8g-1 for now and report this problem upstream.
