This appears to be across all 1.1.1p builds, not just the IEEE float build. 10-test_bn loops. I have tried examining the stack during execution, but it looks like the stack itself is corrupt. Other tests that also have failed at 1.1.1p are: 30-test_evp_extra, 70-test_verify_extra, 80-test_dane, 80-test_ssl_new, 80-test_ssl_old, 90-test_sslapi, It is curious that this is virtually the same set of tests that fail at 3.1 but not 3.0 on this platform. I will not be recommending 1.1.1p for use on our platform as a result. Sincerely sorry, Randall
