An OpenSSL developer who wasn't aware I already had the fix contacted me this night to let me know what was causing the crash. That does not seem very hostile to me ;-) I think it is unfortunate that they slipped an API change, even a subtle one, in a patch release that people were kind of obligated to apply, but this is more of a releng issue IMO. -- Gilles Chehade https://www.poolp.org @poolpOrg -- You received this mail because you are subscribed to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send a mail to: [email protected]
