[openssl-dev] Test script failing for OpenSSL-1.0.1s when built as FIPS Capable

Hello,

I have run into a problem when I am build OpenSSL-1.0.1s as FIPS Capable.  The problem is that the test script is failing.  I believe that this maybe because of different behavior in the tests now that the "no-ssl2" flag has been added to the OPTIONS (i.e. SSLv2 has been disabled in OpenSSL, but not in the tests).   

Details below.

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks,
