This is normal for Win32 if you try to mix runtime libraries. OpenSSL is
by default linked with the multithreaded DLL version of the libraries if
you don't do the same in your program the conflicts will cause a crash.
You need to use the multithreaded DLL runtime library option (/MD
option) and all should work. This is documented in the older stuff at
the end of INSTALL.W32.
