I have a Racket program that uses libcrypto through FFI bindings to compute 
digests. It's wrong because it returns different answers than `openssl dgst`, 
regardless of hash algorithm.

The code is here: 
https://github.com/zyrolasting/xiden/blob/libcrypto/openssl.rkt#L76
It is based on the example in: 
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/EVP_Message_Digests.

I'm not expecting anyone to run this program or review Racket code in detail. 
The links are just there for context. I just want to know if there are common 
C-level mistakes libcrypto users make that would make their digests disagree 
with the CLI. As far as I can tell, I replicated the example on 
wiki.openssl.org well enough to deterministically compute a digest with any 
byte string.

Let me know if there is any other context I can provide.
