This bug report is related to a problem that has been solved already for Linux 
systems in patch 0.9.8c. It has also been pointed out in open Ticket #1298. (Is 
it possible that this ticket was the root of the Linux fix? If so maybe status 
should be changed in the Ticket.)

Patch:                  openssl-0.9.8g
OS:                     Solaris 10
Problem description:    select call in RAND_poll (rand_unix.c:154) fails when 
the file descriptor exceeds 1024.

Proposed solution:      In 0.9.8c there was a fix added in this method for 
Linux systems. This fix should be made for Unix systems as well. Our proposal:

Current:

@ rand_unix.c:214 
#if defined(OPENSSL_SYS_LINUX)

....

#endif

Fix:

#if defined(OPENSSL_SYS_LINUX) || defined(OPENSSL_SYS_UNIX)

....

#endif


Q: What is the time frame for a patch release containing a fix for this problem?

We have used OpenSsl for several years now and this is the first bug that we've 
have found in your code. Thank you for a good product.
