I've been able to reproduce the same problem on a separate new 32bit 
Windows XP SP3 install with R14B02 and Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8r Light.

Setting -debugtype to console pops up a console when the service starts 
(which is inconvenient for a service under normal circumstances). 
Starting the crypto app from the popped up console or from a remotely 
attached node does work however. The problem in my report only occurs if 
debugtype is set to new or reuse, or if any stopaction is specified.

Nothing useful appears in the OS event viewer after a crash. The node 
really crashes, not just the connection. It is impossible to establish 
new connections.
