Look like a real deep and bad library problem. Have you tried updating (you are running Gentoo right?) your system.
When did this problem started, was it after an update?
Btw, according to versions you gave us, your system is out-dated, have you considered you might have been rooted?
errrrk you probably been rooted (read : hacked) then.
Your SSL version was (is) pretty out-dated the attacker maybe exploited this to get in.
Ok, so the first thing to do is to turn off the network connection now. Your computer is probably already used as a spam send plateform/warez website/DDOS zombie.
Second, go get some live-cd distro ( I recommend knoppix but anything will do it) and boot from it then mount your slackware partition. You might want to search for evidences ( any "proof" someone breaked in) but don't take there is no problem if you don't find any. In _ANY_ case my guess would be backup/format/reinstall/update . I don't think you want to become the spam king or to be used to flood ebay, so if you are any suspicious that you have been hacked, you better reinstall and fix up the new system.
yup, I switched from Slackware to Gentoo because it was way easier to update Gentoo... Still, the KISS ( Keep It Simple Stupid) philosophy of Slackware seize me, some Gentoo "advanced" feature are just bugging me (example: why does my hostname has to be setted in /etc/conf.d/hostname now, considering all *nix flavors put it in /etc/hostname since twenty years at least??).
I've just noticed that myself about Gentoo - I took a bit of a gamble and deleted /etc/domainname after filling in the new one... It wasn't clear if you're meant to though.
