Tor initiates a ssl renegotiate at the start of a circuit, the latest
openssl breaks tor.  The fixes for this are currently in -alpha only.
The 0.2.1.21-dev in git also contains the fix.  We're testing
0.2.2.6-alpha right now,
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-0226-alpha-released.  Please try
0.2.2.6-alpha and let us know if it works.

If 0.2.2.6-alpha is shown to work well, then we'll release
0.2.1.21-stable soon.

Thanks for running a relay!
