 	put the following in your stunnel.conf to have useful 
debugging informations for 4.x:

# Some debugging stuff
debug = 7
output = /tmp/stunnel.log

# comment out pid = line, that causes problems.
# (to be re-enabled later if you need)
# pid = /tmp/stunnel.pid

 	launch your stunnel process with the following:

stunnel stunnel.conf

 	and watch your logfile at the same time:

tail -f /tmp/stunnel.log

Olivier
