Jeffrey,
May I ask why you included "no-ssl2" as an option to "config?
Is only adding "no-ssl3" not sufficient enough to fully disable SSLv3?

Thanks,
Phil

If you want to disable SSLv3 at configure time, then:

    ./config no-ssl2 no-ssl3 ...

The configure option will define OPENSSL_NO_SSL3.

See 
http://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Compilation_and_Installation#Configure_Options
for more on the options.
