Updated openssl packages from RHSA-2013:0587 (see comment 30 above) do not longer enable zlib compression support by default. Therefore, OPENSSL_NO_DEFAULT_ZLIB environment variable is no longer checked. Instead, they now check for the OPENSSL_DEFAULT_ZLIB environment variable, which can be used to enable zlib compression support by default.
