One theory is that applications should not call arbitrary OpenSSL functions while there is stuff in the error queue. A second theory is that OpenSSL should always clear the error queue by calling ERR_clear_error() if stuff left in the error queue might cause confusion later. The second theory is nicer, but until someone has patched OpenSSL appropriately, unfortunately the first theory remains true. -- Bodo Möller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP http://www.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/TI/Mitarbeiter/moeller/0x36d2c658.html * TU Darmstadt, Theoretische Informatik, Alexanderstr. 10, D-64283 Darmstadt * Tel. +49-6151-16-6628, Fax +49-6151-16-6036 ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
