One cause seems to be this stuff in "tests/CAtsa.cnf":
[...]
# This definition stops the following lines choking if HOME isn't
# defined.
HOME = .
RANDFILE = $ENV::HOME/.rnd
[...]
All the other "tests/*.cnf" files seem to say this (which seems to be
harmless):
RANDFILE = ./.rnd
Apparently (details not verified, but looking plausible, so far, to
me), that "$ENV::HOME" construct gets evaluated (using getenv()) to a
VMS form of the logical name SYS$LOGIN. In my case, that was
"sys$sysroot:[sysmgr]", and the resulting VMS-UNIX mixed-form path,
"sys$sysroot:[sysmgr]/.rnd" causes the I/O failures.
The code in crypto/rand/randfile.c:RAND_file_name() handles the VMS
situation properly (no added "/"), but there's nothing anywhere to cope
with UNIX-like path formation in a ".cnf" file. The "$ENV::" evaluator
could be rigged to handle "HOME" as a special case. Simply substituting
"/sys$login" instead of calling getenv() would probably work, but if
"RANDFILE = ./.rnd" is good enough for all the other tests, then there's
probably no point in adding the code clutter. (Real users on VMS would
be unlikely to use a construct like this, I'd guess.)
That still leaves all this stuff:

So far, I haven't tried to figure out what this test is trying to do,
so I have no real idea where it's going wrong.
