Nope. that would explain it. criss-crossing MS multi-threaded libs is always a problem. I was using my debug build (the release was probably set up somewhat incorrectly since I had not touched it yet), so I was using a mismatched pair of libs. thanks for the clarification. michael ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
