Was looking at your supported cipher suites in
ciphersuites.c .

Looks like you have an error in entry 6.

That entry should be using the MD5 digest algorithm
instead of the SHA-1 algorithm (at least according to
the standard).

That is the RSA_RC2_40_MD5 entry and you have selected
the SHA digest.

Hope that helps.

    Confirmed.

    1. Verified in "SSL and TLS, Designing and Building Secure
    Systems", figure 3.8 (Available TLS cipher suites)

    2. Verified in "RFC 2246, The TLS Protocol Version 1.0", "E.
    Backward Compatibility with SSL"

    While being there, might as well suggest what the correct
    entry should be :-)

    Previous version:
    {6,KEX_RSA,SIG_RSA,ENC_RC2,8,128,40,DIG_SHA,20,1},

    New version:
    {6,KEX_RSA,SIG_RSA,ENC_RC2,8,128,40,DIG_MD5,16,1},

    Cheers
