You were absolutely correct on both counts. Had I taken the time to
check the return values of SSL_CTX_new() or SSL_new(), I would have
caught the fact that SSL_CTX_new() was failing, and thus prevented
the core dumps. Also, the missing link was the SSL_library_init()
function.
My work can continue. Thank you for your help!
