Hi
I'm *suffering* from the same memory leak. Bodo mention that a
reference is kept in global veriable but as I saw it is
x509_store_ctx_method declared as a static variable in x509_vfy.c,
is there a way to access it? Or to tell OpenSSL to free it? Am I
missig something?
The allocation occurrs between MemCheck_off() and
MemCheck_on(), so it could *escape* OpenSSL's memory leak
can't it?
Please help
