The fact that a reboot is required indicates that any problem is not in any user-level code. Maybe your /dev/random has run out of entropy, or some other underlying system resource is gone. Maybe strace would help here.
Thanks for pointing me into the right direction. I can remember having problems with Apache and mod_ssl in the past as they lacked of entropy with no keyboard and mouse being attached to the machine. I have just installed rng-tools and hope that this might solve the issues.
I'll report on it as soon as I can confirm that this was the cause.
