Fixed a problem with using TLS with older versions of TLS, using protocols
including SMTP and IMAP. The problem seen is an error message in log files
saying "decryption failed or bad record mac". This problem has been fixed.

Fixed a problem with gathering enough random data to generate a key. The
problem shows up when trying to run /pmdf/bin/tls_certreq as an assert error
when trying to generate the private key. It also shows up when trying to send
a message using TLS. In this case, an error message appears in the debug log
files containing the strings "random number generator" and "PRNG not seeded".
