A posting to the OpenSSL list on 2007-10-22:

It's a problem with older versions of MASM.

The following patch works around this issue:

http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=16708

However MASM is being phased out in OpenSSL (it wont be supported at all in
0.9.9) so you are advised to switch to the free NASM instead which doesn't
have such problems.
