Dear author,
Here's a problem occurring in XMLsec on WinNT, but there is also a solution :-) When calling the procedure PEM_read_PrivateKey in Keysmngr.c, the program will crash. Anyway, this problem is already well-known in the OpenSSL mailing list, where a solution was provided (I did not yet try it, however!). See the attachment containing this mail. I just wanted to report it so that you can update the XMLsec software.

I hope it helps.
