[openssl.org #2853] Documentation is not sufficient

[Rahul Chandra via RT]

Hi,

I have a doubt regarding the openssl MD5 implementation.

Here http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/md5.html#RETURN_VALUES it says that 
there is chance for returning failure for the functions MD5_Init (), MD5_Update 
(), and MD5_Final ().

Can you tell me what is scenario for a function to return failure.
Is it depends on the input value?
i.e. MD5 cannot be found for certain input data!

Rahul Chandra
