We have successful deployed a FIPS build of OpenSSL 0.9.7m w/zlib compressi=
on on Windows clients and linux servers in stunnel.  Now we want to upgrade=
 to a FIPS build of 0.9.8k.  We are running into a couple of issues.  Here =
are my two questions:


1.       Should a 0.9.7m build work with a 0.9.8k build?  Mixing client and=
 server versions seems to cause compression issues.  We get errors like: SS=
L3_GET_RECORD:bad decompression.  When I turn off zlib compression the two =
different versions work fine.

2.       Is the RLE compression truly implemented?  The c_rle.c file does n=
ot seem to have any RLE compression routines in it.

Thanks.
-Joe
