Possibly you have the same type of problem mentioned here:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CABUevEytxEQtbMeuKpJ8tYjeeB37mzDQ7BASzEZN6EgcGrdZxA@mail.gmail.com
although Ubuntu may well have done it a bit differently than Red Hat,
ie the way to override openssl's default behavior might be different.
