Hi,
I've encountered a possible bug with RAND_psuedo_bytes on Windows NT
4.0. While I can call it just fine directly from an EXE, attempting to
call it from a DLL hangs the calling process. It's easily reproducible:
SSL_library_init();
SSL_load_error_strings();
RAND_pseudo_bytes(buf, 32);
I tried doing a RAND_seed but that did not help. Also, I have no problems
on Windows 98/2000/XP.
I will attempt to delve a little deeper into RAND_pseudo_bytes to see if I
can track down exactly where it's hanging, but it's pretty dense. A brief
look at rand_win.c suggests that maybe the OpenSSL libraries need to be
compiled separately for NT 4.0 (they were compiled under XP) -- But in
that case why would it work from an EXE and not a DLL?
Any suggesstions/comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
