Please re-read my previous response. I'm not having a problem w/ the
code involving x509. I included it in my last response to point out
that while it works fine, calling d2i_RSAPrivateKey_fp in a similar
manner causes a seg fault.

My understanding is that the input to the function comes from the file
pointer, the second param is for the output. Considering the same file
pointer works fine when NULL is passed for the second param, I'm
confident that valid data is being passed in for processing.

This does not compile.
As I mentioned in my original post, if I pass the address of a NULL ptr
for the second param, the code works fine. I'm trying to understand how
to pass the address of a non-NULL pointer as the second param (or if
that's even possible).
In short, is this not valid?
RSA rsa;
RSA *pTmpRsa(&rsa);
RSA *pRSA = d2i_RSAPrivateKey_fp(pFile, &pTmpRsa);
