Re: bug in d2i_RSAPrivateKey and M_ASN1_D2I_Finish_2(a) ?

This is correct behavior.  All d2i functions are supposed to work that
way.  This enables you to call one d2i after the other on a buffer.

son> this is a memory leak and will core dump when calling free(pp).

Nope.  But you found out how to cope correctly with that, I see.
