While you're forwarding, all OpenSSL support for 0.9.8 and 1.0.0 ends 
in ~six months.  <https://www.openssl.org/about/releasestrat.html>

FWIW, OpenVMS is at 0.9.8zf with V1.4-502, and where 0.9.8zg came out 
~two weeks ago.    Work on 0.9.8zg and 0.9.8zh are underway at OpenSSL. 
  There's a second and separate copy of the OpenSSL bits in the Apache 
CSWS kit, in mod_ssl.  With the current CSWS V2.2 kit, those mod_ssl 
bits are OpenSSL 0.9.8zb which shipped 6-Aug-2014.


And FWIW2, a very minor weirdness in recent PCSI...  Why is it now 
performing drive-by kit validations? (This for an upgrade from -495 to 
-502, on OpenVMS Alpha V8.4 with UPDATE V10.0 and PCSI V4 installed.)
