SSL problems in woody (slapper)



Reading on the list about the slapper worm I thought I should check what 
my servers return when tested with the openssl-sslv2-master script (http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/advisories/openssl-sslv2-master.php).

(apache was restarted after upgrade of ssl)
  
  /home/bjarne# ./ssl-test xxx.xxx.xxx.31
  xxx.xxx.xxx.31 443 PATCHED: detects small overflow, but crashes (0.9.6e)


I checked the apache prosess on the server after I ran the test.  It had not crashed.
Is it only the child prosess that terminates?  

According to the the makers of openssl-sslv2-master the version returned
is guessed from how the server responds to the probe.  Does this mean
that 0.9.6c-2.woody.1 -> 0.9.6e?  

After I checked to see which versions of SSL I had installed:
  bjarne@system:~$ dpkg -l | grep ssl
  ii  curl-ssl       7.9.5-2        Pseudopackage for migration from Debian 2.2 
  ii  libapache-mod- 2.8.9-2        Documentation for Apache module mod_ssl
  ii  libcurl2-ssl   7.9.5-2        Multi-protocol file transfer library. (SSL s
  ii  libssl0.9.6    0.9.6c-2.woody SSL shared libraries
  ii  libssl09       0.9.4-6.woody. SSL shared libraries (old version)
  ii  openssl        0.9.6c-2.woody Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary and related

  dpkg -l libssl0.9.6	returns 0.9.6c-2.woody.1 
  dpkg -l libssl09 	returns 0.9.4-6.woody.2


On a side note.
I wonder about curl-ssl and libssl09.  Are they made redundant by libssl0.9.6?
