Hmmm. That should work. Have you compiled it on a WINNT box or enabled
the WINNT features? That could cause problems because the work around
isn't enabled on WINNT because it isn't needed.

What output does:

openssl version -a 

give? Also try running 

dumpbin /imports libeay32.dll 

and see if the output contains "FlushConsoleInputBuffer".

Steve.
