This is the nginx-full package from the Debian unstable branch. I also  
had the same problem with nginx-full from dotdeb (1.0.09 and 1.0.10).  
The same problem also occurs with libssl.0.9.8.

My certificate is from StartCom [http://www.startssl.com/](http://www.startssl.com/)

Any help is much appreciated, if you need further information to help me  
on this issue please let me know.

If it doesn’t help, please provide more information, as outlined  
at [GitHub - nginxinc/nginx-wiki: ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki section of https://www.nginx.com · GitHub](http://wiki.nginx.org/Debugging).

Thanks a lot, I’m going to give the workaround a try, because I really  
have to blocks that are listening to 443 and one of both blocks has no  
ssl\_certificate defined (it only redirects from www to non-www). I just  
copied the whole ssl block from the other server context and restarted.  
I’ll let you know if it worked (but I’m very confident).

I don’t want to apply the patch because I want to stick to the Debian  
packages (integrate perfectly in the system).
