You should take a closer look at 0.9.7 (currently in beta), where a some of the stricter type handling has already been applied. One thing in your patch that disturbs me a bit is all the casting, which should be necessary if the thing you cast is properly written. We're trying to avoid casting as much as possible, since that entirely obliterates anything that has to do with type safety... We will probably not apply your change to the 0.9.6 line of development, because it's a rather big change, and we try to avoid that within the same line of development (for now, 0.9.x is a line of development, so 0.9.7 is a different one, as is 0.9.8 (in development right now, and where most if the bleeding edge hacking is done)). We will definitely take a closer look at your patch for 0.9.7 and 0.9.8. -- Richard Levitte \ Spannvägen 38, II \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Redakteur@Stacken \ S-168 35 BROMMA \ T: +46-8-26 52 47 \ SWEDEN \ or +46-708-26 53 44 Procurator Odiosus Ex Infernis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Member of the OpenSSL development team: http://www.openssl.org/ Unsolicited commercial email is subject to an archival fee of $400.
