     That's what I thought I had read somewhere, perhaps on OR-TALK.

     I don't actually know how much work it is because I've never tried
it.  There is now a tool called "ports-mgmt/portdowngrade" in the ports
tree that I'll need to install first to do the job.  That *shouldn't* be
a problem, but...weeelllll...the ports subsystem is definitely the weakest
link in FreeBSD, so you take your chances every time you need to install
something from ports or packages, and you hope for the best.
     In the meantime, though, perhaps others who have already tried tor
with openssl 1.0.0 on their systems could chime in here with their results.

     Okay.  Please keep me posted.  Meanwhile, MYCROFTsOtherChild has
been up and running for about 15 hours with no sign of having relayed
a single cell of data.  I'll leave it up in case anyone on the development
team has a way to try connecting to it and monitoring what happens in
the handshaking.  I, OTOH, have been up for about 25 or 26 hours--long
story--and am not about to tackle downgrading openssl until I've had
quite a bit of sleep.  Maybe tomorrow.
