Thanks for the information. I think I'm OK, because I installed the openssl
0.9.6-devel package before compiling the apache-mod_ssl binary. Although of
course I won't be able to use openssl 0.9.5a with this binary. Obviously
though I'll bear this in mind when building future rpms.

I pleased to say that haven't seen any other problems with the new version
of openssl. Stunnel 3.8 and lynx-ssl 2.8.2 (I have got round to a new
package yet) are both working fine.
