From: Bill Rebey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bill.Rebey> 1) Building with 'no-rsa' (compiler: -DNO_RSA) causes Bill.Rebey> link errors on UNIX. I "fixed" the problem, but my fix I just tested with just no-rsa no a Solaris machine using GNU c, and it went through with no errors. Bill.Rebey> Specifically, I was building with "no-rsa no-rc4 no-rc5 Bill.Rebey> no-idea no-bf" Hmm, that's a little bit more than just no-rsa :-)... I guess I'll have to try that as well... Bill.Rebey> 2) SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh hangs. (It didn't with the Bill.Rebey> distribution of 9.5a, but it does with the new snapshot). Bill.Rebey> Ultimately, SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh ends up calling Bill.Rebey> 'ssleay_rand_bytes', which then calls Bill.Rebey> 'ssleay_rand_add'. The problem appears to be that Bill.Rebey> 'ssleay_rand_bytes' calls Bill.Rebey> CRYPTO_w_lock(CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND)', and then Bill.Rebey> 'ssleay_rand_add' calls CRYPTO_w_lock(CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND)' Bill.Rebey> again before it gets unlocked, causing a deadlock. As you yourself observed, there is this new section of code inside the check on do_stir_pool which isn't there in 0.9.5a. I've added code so it's possible to have ssleay_rand_add *not* do any locking. Perhaps not the nicest thing in the world, but I'm a bit paranoid about what happens if two or more threads do the stirring loop at the same time... Bill.Rebey> 4) I'm still tracking down that sporadic crash in Bill.Rebey> lh_retrieve. Any ideas would be appreciated. I'll look into that later today... -- Richard Levitte \ Spannvägen 38, II \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chairman@Stacken \ S-168 35 BROMMA \ T: +46-8-26 52 47 Redakteur@Stacken \ SWEDEN \ or +46-709-50 36 10 Procurator Odiosus Ex Infernis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Member of the OpenSSL development team: http://www.openssl.org/ Software Engineer, Celo Communications: http://www.celocom.com/ Unsolicited commercial email is subject to an archival fee of $400.
