In my experience, openssl releases routinely break compatibility. This occurs for letter as well as number changes.
Compiling against the new version is not enough. You must link with the same version. Dynamic linking offers a third possibility for inconsistency. The symptom I typically see is that almost everything works, but some function call will crash the program.
