I'm not sure if this is related, but I had problems with random core
dumps a while ago.  The problem was the use of the signal() function in
an "old-fashioned" in the get_RSAPrivate_Key function (where the signals
were taken over to protect the typing of the password).  It was
interacting badly with my use of the sigaction() function to manipulate
signals.

Perhaps you're using signals, or something in the lib is?

bouncing email I never did find out if it got through or not)
