Error: SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback failed SSL

After uncommenting the *ssl* lines in my 
/etc/nginx/sites-available/mainserver file, I am unable to restart Nginx 
Executing sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart produces this ERROR:

"Restarting nginx: 2008/10/14 11:25:22 [emerg] 7898#0: 
SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback() failed (SSL:)
nginx."

I have searched with google and at the Nginx site, at the nginx wiki and 
at the nginx email archives, and I could not find any clue about this error.

I am using Nginx 0.6.32 (nginx_0.6.32-3ubuntu1_i386.deb - Ubuntu 8.10) 
in a Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server with libssl0.9.8.
The certificates were created in /etc/nginx/ssl/ with:
openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out server.crt -keyout server.key

Did anybody had a similar problem?
Do you have any clues on how to overcome this problem?
