No. Some Solaris, for example, use a char (not even unsigned char!) to
store the file descriptor in their FILE structure (E.g., what KT (1st
ed.) shows as "int _fd" on page 165.

Oh, absolutely. What I wanted to point out is that there is a BIO
that uses file descriptors, which makes the need for a flag to
bss_file.c completely needless and one complication too many. To
solve said problem, one should use the file descriptor BIO instead of
the stream BIO...
Except
IMHO we should ideally have console and file I/O all handled by BIOs in
such a way that any platform specific changes only need to be made in
one place.
Totally agree.
Wouldn't it be neat if all of openssl (except bio-file) could compile w/o
stdio.h? :)

That only gives you a limit *per-process*. :-)

True - but when
Where this came up for me was in PEM_read_bio_RSAPrivateKey(BIO *, ...)
I haven't gotten into the PEM stuff much yet. Maybe there are
ways of using them without BIO's, but hey, if it's easy to fix
bss_file.c, maybe I'd do that.
Just create a memory BIO, write the key to it, then
