PRNG not seeded problem on PPC604 (vxWorks 5.5)

Hi, I am using openSSL 0.9.7b on PPC604 vxWorks Board. During initilization of OpenSSL with DHparam file, following flow is used: pDHParamfp /* file pointer to dhparam.pem file */ .. dh = PEM_read_DHparams(pDHParamfp, sdf_co_null, Sdf_co_null, Sdf_co_null); ..SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh(pSslCtx, dh);
