Mike, 

You got me wondering. I have the -28 rpm and the -8 so first I looked at
timestamps of the files.

[bhughes@zenon RPMS]$ ls -alrt openssl-0.9*
-rw-r--r--    2 root     root      1350028 Sep  7  2001
openssl-0.9.6b-8.i386.rpm
-r--r--r--    1 bhughes  bhughes   1410550 Aug  5 18:52
openssl-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm

then I looked at the build times:
[bhughes@zenon RPMS]$ rpm -q --qf '%{buildtime:date}\n' -p
openssl-0.9.6b-28.i386.rpm
Thu 01 Aug 2002 01:28:22 PM EST

[bhughes@zenon RPMS]$ rpm -q --qf '%{buildtime:date}\n' -p
openssl-0.9.6b-8.i386.rpm
Fri 07 Sep 2001 06:48:38 PM EST

If the  fix has been in the code since late July there is no way it
would be in an rpm that was built on Sep 7 2001

Looks to me that you need the -28 version. At least that is what I
currently hav in my installation tree here at the office.
