Comment 4 for bug 378829

fixed by switching to the 0.9 branch of openssl. when compiling 1.0 with MinGW i had to disable the "capieng" option because MinGW is lacking some of the functions necessary to fully compile that module; its absence was inducing the crash.
i don't know the exact reason behind this issue but since the 0.9 branch can be compiled with asm whereas the 1.0 one was also failing there, sticking with the 0.9 builds is fine for now.
