Hi, It seems to me that something in memory allocation algorith is not right. When

when some access to this allocated memory is needed (in most cases when have to

There are many effects that could cause this, for instance if FreeBSD
manages to align things differently in relation to the CPU cache you
could get some very interesting waste of time that way.
Based on the data you show me, I can't really say that something is
wrong or right either way.

Hi,
I'm doing a port of a little OpenSSL program to FreeBSD from linux, but the
code which works fine on linux fails on FreeBSD at SSL_connect().
This function allways returns with -1 and SSL_errno is 1.
The code creates the CTX in client mode successfully, reads the client
certificates, sets

This patch will break backward compatability with existing scripts.
Since it is an easy matter to call inet_aton() on the buffer, and
then call gethostbyname() only if inet_aton() returns INADDR_NONE
(which would allow either a host name or an IP address to be used),
please use this approach

I believe it's because the boot loader goes by partition type. All
Microsoft operating systems can use FAT (either FAT16, FAT32 or both). The
boot loader can't tell what operating system you've got installed on your
FAT partition, so it goes with the lowest common denominator - DOS.
