I use sarge as well (and etch, and sid for development); haven't ever 
had the need to do something drastic like replace libc on any of the 
dists I've ever set stuff up on.

I suppose the backtrace does not seem to be terribly useful in this 
case; I'd still suggest looking for a non-distro incompatible SSL 
library.  If you're seeing this happen when RADIUS is queried, I'd lay 
odds you've got a CPAN- or self-installed DBD::mysql which pulls in a 
stray libssl.

You should probably move this to freeside-users if you want to follow up 
(and post other support requests of this nature there in the future); 
this does not seem to be any sort of development issue...
