Are you then using VC++ to generate the final DLL which you use with your multithreaded application? If so, do you receive crashes regardless of if you're in FIPS mode at the time or not? With OpenSSL 0.9.7m and FIPS 1.1.1, I had experienced crashes even when _not_ in fips mode but when using the FIPS OpenSSL DLL, in a multithreaded program. I didn't have time to research it further, and backed off to 0.9.7l without FIPS, where the problem doesn't occur. I haven't really researched how much code is stored in the fipscanister and whether or not that code is used even when not in fips mode, but it definitely sounds like you may have stumbled across something here... -Brad ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
