Sorry if this is already known; I couldn't find anything relevant in either the archives or a web search.
Running the t/net_ssl test from Crypt-SSLeay-0.51 results in a segfault. The gdb trace indicates a NULL context being passed to SSL_CTX_ctrl. The full backtrace is: #0 SSL_CTX_ctrl (ctx=0x0, cmd=32, larg=4095, parg=0x0) at ssl_lib.c:1061 #1 0x00fb85e8 in XS_Crypt__SSLeay__CTX_new () from /afs/cs.wisc.edu/s/openssl-0.9.8a/src/i386_tao10/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51/blib /arch/auto/Crypt/SSLeay/SSLeay.so #2 0x080b9725 in Perl_pp_entersub () #3 0x080b2ac8 in Perl_runops_standard () #4 0x08064093 in Perl_call_sv () #5 0x08064438 in Perl_call_list () #6 0x0808f7bf in Perl_newATTRSUB () #7 0x0808e436 in Perl_utilize () #8 0x08081f12 in Perl_yyparse () #9 0x08062a83 in S_parse_body () #10 0x08064e76 in perl_parse () #11 0x0805e4b6 in main () Is there a workaround, or a patch that I've missed? My environment is perl-5.8.6 and openssl-0.9.8a on a tao linux 1.0 system.
