This is the commit that introduced the change:

https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins/commit/5a5d3d7013dbc0

SSL_OP_NO_TICKET is defined by OpenSSL itself, but only by versions
which actually support RFC4507 (that is, versions >= 0.9.8f).  The
"#ifdef SSL_OP_NO_TICKET" you probably stumbled over makes sure that the
plugins can be built against older OpenSSL versions.

Are you still seeing SSL negotiation problems when using the new
release?
