When I had the same problem in Win95 with PKCS7 routines I put:
static const char rnd_seed[ ] = "string to make the random number generator
think it has entropy";
as a global variable, then called
RAND_seed(rnd_seed, sizeof rnd_seed);
just after my OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() routine, and it worked.
I have seen this in ssltest.c example
There is a better way to do it in app_rand.c, I think.
