You should now be using mysql55 on CentOS-5, not mysql-5.0

That may well be the case, but isn't relevant to the point I'm making, which is that something changed in openssl-0.9.8e-36 that has broken something.

mysql 5.0 and openssl 0.9.8 are both ancient and way past their expiration date.

Maybe so, but still a side issue. Openssl 0.9.8e was recently updated. Some change in this update has broken something. I would like to understand what, and so ought the package maintainers. C5 isn't EOL until March 2017.
