Thanks for pointing that out Brian ... I'd been noticing that some code based on
OpenSSL had been failing recently, and it was only when OpenSSL was recompiled
without "-fomit-frame-pointer" that it would work. I think it is a valid sort of
flag to use in building libraries such as this, especially given the explanation
the gcc man page has for the flag, but it's troubling that a standard version
(on a standard distribution) of gcc creates occasionally broken output with it.

Yes please - I for one would be extremely grateful to see a fix popping up in
MandrakeUpdate soon, if at all possible. :-)
