I haven't seen the problem on FreeBSD 5.x, only on 4.x (up to 4.6, I
skipped 4.7+ and went directly to 5.x)

What happens is that basically any access to NSURL (and related) will
crash the tool or application. I'm not sure what is causing this, but it
could be that the default SSL on 4.x is compiled with gcc 2.95.3.
However, using OpenSSL from ports will work regardless of the compiler
used to install it.
