I had one yesterday. I was linking with 0.9.8d, but I incorrectly> had 0.9.8a include files in my path. This unfortunately simulated> compiling with 'a but then an upgrade to 'd. Almost everything worked, but HMAC core dumped deep in my code. ... a plea to make as many new functions as you like, but freeze the existing ones. I don't even like changes outside a release branch. I don't want my 0.9.8 apps to break because some new one installed 0.9.9. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
