Netcraft numbers might be to pessimistic

Parent article: Which OpenSSL are you running?

Netcraft collects the version number, that Apache reports, which is the version of openssl used during compile time. A simple update of the openssl shared libs and forcing the load of the new libs via ld.so.conf, doesn't change the reported version number. However one can verify with procfs, that the new shared libs are mapped indeed. So Netcrafts number might be to pessimistic.

The shared lib interface seems to be stable during the minor number series (0.9.6 and 0.9.7).
