Just one shot from the hip, can it be possible that you have directories in your PATH which are not acessible or are located on another computer which is currently down?Hello,
I am sorry for the long post, there is a question at the very end :-) (I sent it to the the openssl-users group at first, maybe you the developers are interested rather than users.)
We integrate OpenSSL 0.9.6l compiled with standard settings and linked statically on Win32 and used on Windows XP, 2000 and 2003.
The initialization of OpenSSL used within an extension module for Microsoft Sharepoint 2003 caused very long delays (15 - 30 seconds) during the first call. The method RAND_poll() called from RAND_status() was identified to cause this.
[...]
OpenSSL on Win32 tries to load several DLLs on the first call to RAND_poll and therefore Win32 has to go through the PATH to find them. If there are invalid network directories in PATH Win32 needs some time to find out the facts...
I myself have never seen such a slow RAND_poll, so I'd think the problem has to be located somwhere on your computer.
Hope it helps, Ted ;)
