Yes it is. The code decrypts a buffer and ASN1 parses the result either
a simple d2i or a SEQUENCE OF d2i. The actual structure returned can be
anything which with the SSLeay "standard" of the time was represented by
char *.
With the ANSI'fication now taking place it should really be void * (and
quite a few other things should be too).
