No, that is the old FIPS module, whose certification might
still be technically valid, but whose available features
don't match current FIPS criteria.
There is a new FIPS module, known as FIPS module 2.0, which
is currently going through the certification process and
will hopefully get its own certification number when/if it
passes. The new module is for OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.2, which
are also future/beta releases.
Mr. Fowler was testing out the beta version to make sure it
could build in his environment.
