Okay, great. Thanks for all the help.

Would it reduce security or be unsafe to simply prepend zero bytes after
calling BN_bn2bin to make it fill 12

I didn't realize that. Thanks for the explanation.
I'm seeing DH_generate_key generate a public key that is 1 byte less than
expected (127 instead of 128 bytes for a 1024-bit key), but only
sporadically (about every 200-300 tries). I've written the following test
case that always fails for me in less than 300 iterations. I've only
included error ch

I'm trying to build OpenSSL 0.9.7b for VxWorks (Tornado 2.0.2 for PowerPC
860) on a Windows XP host and I ran into some problems. I did the following:
0) Installed Tornado 2.0.2 (a while ago, but noted just to be thorough).
1) Installed cygwin.
2) Launched cygwin.
3) Un-targz'd OpenSSL 0.9.7b into
