This is a classic libssl issue, and not specific to Solaris. libssl
releases in the 0.9 series aren't considered 100% backwards-compatible,
and thus 0.9.8 isn't considered a substituted for 0.9.7. Often you can
"fix" this by symlinking.

The only way to fix it in the solaris binaries would be to have another
version which linked against 0.9.8.
