Thank you very much for this information, and for your rapid response to
my inquiry.
>From what you've have said, my understanding is that there really is no
memory leak. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "cleanup stuff". Am
I supposed to call some openssl function to release resources claimed by
SSL_library_init()? My understanding was that SSL_ctx_free() is
necessary after SSL_ctx_new(), but I was unaware of any cleanup routines
other than SSL_ctx_free(). If other cleanup routines are necessary, I'd
really appreciate if if you would give me their names, so I can look
them up on the openssl website.
Again, many thanks for your assistance.
