Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Sorry for late reply.

 Browser: Firefox 3.6.13
 OS: Mandriva Linux 2010.2
 kernel 2.6.33.7-7mdv-1-1mdv2010.1
 SSL: openssl-1.0.0a-1.6mdv2010.1

 Error message from Firefox when posting to Wordpress:

 {{{Secure Connection Failed
 An error occurred during a connection to *blogname*.wordpress.com.
 SSL received a record with an incorrect Message Authentication Code.
 (Error code: ssl_error_bad_mac_read)
     *   The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the
 authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
     *   Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.
 Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this
 broken site.}}}

 This error is seen only in Firefox. Eventually, after several retries, the
 page will load. Wordpress support says they have checked their SSL and
 report no problem, and said I should file a bug report here.

 Thanks.
