FIPS mode - SSL connection fails

We recently upgraded to version 8.4.18 within our product but this upgrade
has caused SSL connections to fail when OpenSSL is in FIPS mode.

We receive the following error:
2014-02-20 01:44:23 PST [9339]: [1-1] db=[unknown],user=[unknown] LOG:
could not accept SSL connection: decryption failed or bad record mac

While looking through the recent changes, we found that commenting out the
"RAND_cleanup();" call in "src/backend/postmaster/fork_process.c" allows the
connection to succeed.

Any ideas on why this "RAND_cleanup();" would cause SSL failure in FIPS
mode?
Is there a work around? Or is this possibly a known issue?

Thanks.
