I know this doesn't have anything to do with the problem you are facing, or with openssl for that matter (I'm afraid I can't help with that), but isn't %m exclusive to the syslog() call? Does it also work with printf() ?

Hi All,

I'm trying to decode a base64 encoded string. The problem I'm running in to is that BIO_read() always returns 0. BIO_should_retry() and BIO_should_read() also return 0 when BIO_read() returns 0. If the base64 encoded string is shortened, BIO_read returns the decoded information. I get this result using OpenSSL 0.9.8k (cross-compiled for a Blackfin processor) and OpenSSL 0.9.8g on Ubuntu 9.04.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
...doug
