Thanks for the feedback. Both of these suggestions seem so
obvious that I now wonder why I didn't think of them.
These does lead to one obvious question:
Should I do the work and resubmit my patches for HMAC
processing and doing all digesting through the EVP layer against 0.9.7 or has
someone already done this work?
Thanks again.

Any guidelines would be appreciated. Thanks. > Well in general you should supply patches against the current development version of OpenSSL. The actual changes from 0.9.6a and 0.9.7-dev are considerable and whole sections of the library have been rewritten. In general its a good idea to mention any changes or areas you think need changing in openssl-dev first. Someone may be already working on the changes anyway and not committed them yet.
