I doubt that your observation has in fact to do with the new OpenSSL version.
* Did you recompile everything?
* Did "configure" pick up the PRNGD socket at the correct location?
* Run prngd in "-d" mode . It should show the incoming request to obtain
entropy bytes and its service.
* Use trace/strace/tusc (or what the system call tracer is called on your
platform) to check out, whether the socket is contacted at all.
