Larry -

my reason for switching was the well known Q300562 (couldn't find it in the 
web version of the MSDN).

That's an issue on NT4 where a buffer size is not correctly calculated. A fix 
exists but is only available through MS support. Since getting the fix 
through MS support would have cost me time and/or money, I opted for 
switching to OpenSSL, which was remarkably easy.

Please consider making the fix publicly available (and redistributable).
Regards,
Wolfgang Spraul
