It is probably an OpenSSL bug to try select() without considering FD_SETSIZE, but RAND_poll(), where you encounter these problems, is just OpenSSL's last resort when trying to seed its pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). The best thing to do is to have your application initialize the PRNG with some high-quality randomness before you start additional threads by using RAND_add() or RAND_seed(); then OpenSSL won't have to use RAND_poll() in the first place. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
