Good eye but that's not it. The code below should read BN_free(Res).
Thanks.

I am using the following code to create a temporary BIGNUM to hold
the result of multiplication:
BIGNUM *Res;
while(!Done)
{
Res=BN_new();
BN_init(Res);
BN_mul(Res,A,B,Ctx);
BN_free();
}
This code works with the exception that BN_free() is not releasing
the
memory allocated to Res. I already have a workaround but I am
wondering why the memory isn't being released. In production the code
runs for hours and is causing a significant memory leak. I am I
misusing BN_new and BN_free? The code is running on OSX 10.5.8,
Openssl 0.9.7l. I get the same result with OpenSSL 1.0.1e.
BN_free(Res); ???
