Perhaps you have a header conflict.  That's for this code:

PUBLIC SSL * HTGetSSLHandle NOARGS
{
    if (ssl_ctx == NULL) {
        /*
         *  First time only.
         */
#if SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x0800
        ssl_ctx = SSL_CTX_new();
        X509_set_default_verify_paths(ssl_ctx->cert);
#else
        SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();
        ssl_ctx = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_client_method());
        SSL_CTX_set_options(ssl_ctx, SSL_OP_ALL);
        SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths(ssl_ctx);
#endif /* SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x0800 */
        atexit(free_ssl_ctx);
    }
    return(SSL_new(ssl_ctx));
}

I've got 0.9.5a installed, and see these definitions in the headers:

crypto.h:88:#define SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER       OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
opensslv.h:28:#define OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER    0x0090581fL

Just checked, 0.9.6 does the same thing more/less:

crypto.h:87:#define SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER       OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER
opensslv.h:28:#define OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER    0x0090600fL

So if you're having problems, it really looks like a conflict with an
install of SSLeay.
