Other OpenSSL-based crypto modules FIPS 140 validated?

While at the NIST FIPS 140 site earlier today (looking for that mysterious 
nCipher certificate), I noticed that certificate #350 was issued last 
Friday -- for "IBM Crypto for C (ICC)".

I think that the interesting thing about this crypto [SW] module and cert 
is that it's based on OpenSSL. I know we've discussed the [forthcoming] 
validation of OpenSSL itself, and we know about the Crypto++ and 
Netscape/Sun/Mozilla open source crypto modules, but my question now is, 
are there any other "OpenSSL-based" FIPS 140 validated crypto modules, or 
is this the first?

Disclaimer: although I'm employed by IBM, I had nothing to with this 
validation or with ICC (it's a big place)
