Actually, I can't believe that only 0.9.7b will work, but not 0.9.7a or 
0.9.7c, so I'd be glad if you could confirm this.

When mentioning libraries, I was talking about compilation options for 
multithread support and possible linkage against mt enabled libraries. 
Possibly, there are platforms where things are not compiled/linked 
correctly, but nobody noticed because ssl connections are rarely used 
(at least  for admins contacting a local server)
