I just tried to upgrade from openssl-0.9.7g to 0.9.7h
and noticed that my openssh-4.2p1 server and clients now
crash with segfault with the new openssl shared library!
I tested this on two installations and both had this problem.

        We discovered similar problems caused by a change in the size of the
EVP_MD_CTX structure.

Double-check that http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=14514 fixes the problem.

We fixed it by changing code like:

EVP_MD_CTX ctx;

        to

EVP_MD_CTX *ctx=EVP_MD_CTX_create();
...
EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(ctx);

Admirable attitute and proper solution. A.
