(/me kicks mutt again for not showing new mails in mailboxes...)

Anyway, I don't think it's very likely many people are affected by
this since not many programs call SSL_get_shared_ciphers().  No
application in the base system calls SSL_get_shared_ciphers acording
to grep, other than openssl(1)'s built in ssl client/server.

I also did a quick grep in apache 2.2 (I think it was 2.2) and it
didn't reference the function either, but this was a quick check so if
it matters to anyone, check yourself.
