I've also encountered the exact same problem on AIX 6.1 equipped with XLC v9.0 (according to /usr/vac/README.C)! Seems that it made it through at least two compiler releases... > .() at 0xf410 > fwrite_unlocked(??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x900000000079320 > fwrite(??, ??, ??, ??) at 0x9000000000794b8 > [EMAIL PROTECTED](0x110105470, 0x1010c9b6, 0x1000000010, 0x0), line 181 > in "bss_file.c" > file_write(b = 0x0000001000000010, in = (nil), inl = 1), line 179 in > "bss_file.c" > BIO_write(b = 0x0000000110105470, in = 0x000000001010c9b6, inl = 16), > line 201 in "bio_lib.c" > X509_NAME_print(0x110105470, 0x11010f1f0, 0x1000000010), line 482 in > "t_x509.c" > X509_NAME_print_ex(0x110105470, 0x11010f1f0, 0x1000000010, 0x0), line > 512 in "a_strex.c" > X509_REQ_print_ex(0x110105470, 0x110105d90, 0x0, 0x0), line 125 in > "t_req.c" > x509_main(0x9, 0xffffffffffff288), line 970 in "x509.c" > [EMAIL PROTECTED](0x1100ea950, 0x900000009, 0xffffffffffff240, 0x100000001), > line 402 in "openssl.c" > lock_dbg_cb(mode = 1, type = 9, file = > "^O\377\377\377\377\377\364x^O\377\377\377\377\377\364}^O\377\377\377\377\377\364\203^O\377\377\377\377\377\364\207^O\377\377\377\377\377\364\221^O\377\377\377\377\377\364\234^O\377\377\ > > 377\377\377\364\245^O\377\377\377\377\377\364\256^O\377\377\377\377\377\364\263", > line = 1), line 396 in "openssl.c" > main(Argc = 9, Argv = 0x0ffffffffffff240), line 321 in "openssl.c" > > I figured the optimizer was > causing this and removed the -O from the Makefile. > > That fixed it!

This is nothing but a compiler bug. The file that gets mis-compiled is asn1/t_x509.c and what happens there is that generated code *effectively* casts pointer to 32-bit integer and back, thus cutting off most significant bits. As AIX seem to place data in 64-bit application just above 4GB, doing so re-biases pointer to area prone to segmentation violation condition. Note "in" argument passed to BIO_write, it should have been 0x11010c9b6, not 0x1010c9b6. Please verify that http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=16812 fixes the problem.
