If you don't use the multithreaded DLL runtime library (/MD option) your
program will almost certainly crash because malloc gets confused -- the
OpenSSL DLLs are statically linked to one version, the application must
not use a different one.  You might be able to work around such problems
by adding CRYPTO_malloc_init() to your program before any calls to the
OpenSSL libraries: This tells the OpenSSL libraries to use the same
malloc(), free() and realloc() as the application.  However there are many
standard library functions used by OpenSSL that call malloc() internally
(e.g. fopen()), and OpenSSL cannot change these; so in general you cannot
rely on CYRPTO_malloc_init() solving your problem, and you should
consistently use the multithreaded library.
If  you want to build your openssl application on Win32 with VC++,
Add '/MD' option on your project.
