Thanks, but perhaps I am a little unclear about the issue I'm having.
I have written the following code to demonstrate the issue I'm having,
specifically with ASN1_OBJECT in a custom ASN1 struct containing only
one ASN1_OBJECT type.
I just have a basic ASN1 sequence containing an ASN1_OBJECT. I want
to assign the custom OID "1.2.3.4" to obj. When I try to do this with
OBJ_txt2obj(), this becomes the cause for a segfault on i2d_basic().
I'm unsure why this segfault occurs. My guess is obj is already
allocated by simple_asn_new(); therefore reassigning it with
a newly created object from OBJ_txt2obj() causes a segfault.
But I'm not too familiar with the internals of the i2d_* routine
to see how this is possible.
Ideally I would just like to assign any custom ASN1_OBJECT for obj,
which is where I'm struggling.
Thanks.

{
simple_asn *b = simple_asn_new();
b->obj = OBJ_txt2obj("1.2.3.4", 1);
i2d_simple_asn(b, NULL); // segfaults here
return (0);
}
