Hi, I'm experiencing odd behaviour which results in a bus error & core dump on Solaris. I'm using OpenSSL as the SSL provider for stunnel 4.05.
I can successfully start stunnel to open a tunnel to one host, eg: accept=localhost:4445 connect=host.domain.com:14445 but I get a bus error & core dump in OpenSSL on starting stunnel when I try and open a tunnel to a different host, eg: accept=localhost:4445 connect=hostUAT.domain.com:14445 Backtrace as follows: (gdb) where #0 0x000b83e8 in engine_table_select () #1 0x0006e514 in RAND_status () #2 0x00030770 in prng_seeded (bytes=0) at ssl.c:284 #3 0x00030678 in init_prng () at ssl.c:182 #4 0x00030378 in context_init () at ssl.c:79 #5 0x0003185c in main_execute () at stunnel.c:102 #6 0x00031780 in main (argc=0, argv=0xffbef684) at stunnel.c:72 Environment is OpenSSL 0.9.7b from Stunnel 4.05 on Solaris 8. What might cause a host name change to result in a bus error from the random number generator code?
