Apache is not starting once FIPS mode was turned on (using mod_nss)

Issue

• After following the KBase article to enable FIPS mode (https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/22110), Apache will not start because of segmentation faults.

• You see the following errors in your log:

  ....

  [Sun May 13 22:45:55 2012] [error] SSL Library Error: -8038 SEC_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED
