Hi Alon,

when trying to use valgrind I'm getting "Syscall param ioctl(generic)
points to uninitialised byte(s)", so I guess, if I understand
correctly, I need to compile libssl with -DPURIFY, or is there a flag
I can use when compiling valgrind? I would rather not experiment too
much, as the machine is serving approximately 40 VMs in production
use. I'm a bloody beginner; if you can provide me with more explicit
instructions, so that I don't risk overwriting original libs and
messing up the system, I'd be more than willing to give it a try.

Under non-debugging circumstances, the crashes can be provoked quite
easily, by overzealous use of the delete-key in msword or outlook.
When running under valgrind albeit without randomization disabled, I
cannot provoke the crashes; I'm guessing, it may be a race condition
that fails to trigger under the substantial slowdown caused by the
debugging.

regards and thanks,
TF
