I'm trying to remediate a couple of memory leaks on shutdown. I'm
having trouble: (1) locating a definitive guide that lists what should
be called during cleanup; and (2) what order they should be called in.

The closest I've find to answering the questions are (1) OpenSSL
source code; and (2)
http://marc.info/?l=openssl-dev&m=104999183723322&w=2. OpenSSL source
code is a bit confusing because the various programs and demos mostly
do things differently. The openssl-dev posting is good, but I've still
got some leaks.

I start the application with:

    CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init();
    CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON);

    SSL_library_init();
    SSL_load_error_strings();
    FIPS_mode_set(1);
    // Install static locks
    // Create Client Context
    // Create Server Context
    // Load DH params

I shutdown the application with the following (in this order):

    FIPS_mode_set(0);
    // Remove static locks
    // Destroy Client Context
    // Destroy Server Context
    // Unload DH params
    ENGINE_cleanup();
    CONF_modules_unload(1);
    EVP_cleanup();
    CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data();
    ERR_remove_state(0);
    ERR_free_strings();

Then I dump state:

    CRYPTO_mem_leaks_fp(stderr);

This results in the following (in addition to a Valgrind complaint):

Debug: dumping OpenSSL memory state
 4206 file=err.c, line=1019, number=600, address=065CFDC0
 4120 file=lhash.c, line=119, number=176, address=065BEFA0

> thread=67351016, file=err.c, line=449, info="int_thread_get (err.c)"
928 bytes leaked in 4 chunks

What order are these functions supposed to be called in to cleanup the
leak in "err.c"?

Thanks in advance
