Both 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d had *serious* problems.  Unless you can

roll your own 1.0.1e release.

Ok, but I'd prefer to check this out first and get gentoo to
update/stabilize 1.0.1e...

Any pointers/links to anything outlining said serious problems?

Thanks for the heads up...

I would read the CHANGES file shipped with OpenSSL. They didn't document the changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e, but you can see the changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d.

I did, and nothing jumps out at me (but I'm not a programmer, so that isn't worth much).

Also, the gentoo devs don't know of any issues, and asked for pointers to details.

The patches currently applied to the 1.0.1c ebuild are:

                epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.0.0a-ldflags.patch #327421
                epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.0.0d-fbsd-amd64.patch #363089
                epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.0.0d-windres.patch #373743
                epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.0.0h-pkg-config.patch
                epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.0.1-parallel-build.patch
                epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.0.1-x32.patch
                epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-1.0.1-ipv6.patch

If no pointers can be provided explaining these 'serious issues', then I don't see how they could be all that serious.
