This error is causes by a mismatch of libraries. You have to make sure that the version of OpenSSL matches the one used to build the binary package.
For example, we experienced the problem when we installed the binary distribution of OpenSSL v0.9.8. The dll, 

c:\WINDOWS\system32\ssleay32.dll

was the one that caused the problem. When we used OpenSSL v0.9.7e the problem with the library was solved.
