I think it might be related to the padding bug change in 0.9.8c

(see http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/rt2/Ticket/Display.html?id=1204 and  
http://www.gatago.com/mailing/openssl/users/15655836.html)

http://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html says:

"Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
      bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
      necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in  
false
      positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is  
ancient
      code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed  
it by
      now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
