exception error raised in sslstart

[sidki3003]

I noticed the same since i switched to a new machine a year ago. With the old one (P3 600) i only saw it once every two months or so. I thought it might be a timing issue while initializing the SSL libraries, because the new machine is around 10 times faster.

After reading ProxRocks' post i remembered that i also installed a caching DNS client (TreeWalk), which listens on local_router_address:53 (UDP and TCP). IIRC only Proxomitron and Firefox are allowed to access it directly. I'm tunneling my AV (Symantec Corporate) requests through Prox.

Now i get the error with around 1 in 50 SSL connects. Randomly. However, it seems that there are some sites where i get it more often. Like https://developer.mozilla.org/ and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ .

Most of my other SSL connects are non-HTML docs (e.g. badge images, uncaught Flash cookies), so it's logical that such an error becomes evident there first.
