I don't know with Dragonfly, but i know with FreeBSD-6 there is an
incompatibility between openssl and openssl-beta. KDE works very
well with the openssl included in base system. As soon as you install
openssl-beta (required by OpenOffice) the ssl support in KDE breaks
applications coredump, etc. Remove ssl-beta and everything works well again.
