version compatibility

i am currently using modssl 2.8.4 w/ apache 1.3.20 and openssl 0.9.6b. for
compatibility with another application, i need to upgrade my openssl to
0.9.6c. will i have any problems with the modssl/apache upgrading to this
version of openssl. in other words, will i need to upgrade my modssl
version? should i recompile modssl with the new openssl version, or can i
just replace what is currently there?

thanks,
shon

Source code compatibility should not be an issue. Binary compatibility
is possible, but I don't know for sure, whether some internal interface was
changed. I would thus recommend to recompile.
