Lutz, thanks for the input. I did exactly as you suggested.... made a simple macro to check s->s3 for the NULL condition and log the event, and try to recover the
session gracefully. It is possible that this is happening during a renegotiation. I also considered that *s could be getting stepped on by a rogue ptr somewhere, but I think it is awfully strange that *s appears to be perfectly valid except for the s3 member. Thanks for the ideas. -- brad ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
