This is a question about using the OpenSSL libraries, further
discussion should be on openssl-users; I've set 'reply-to'
appropriately, but I don't know what the mailing list will do with
it.<br>

I don't know if or how it's related to your problem, but you have
defined a 7 byte array as the passphrase then told the function to
use 64 bytes at that location. There's no saying what values the
other 57 bytes of the passphrase will have, assuming they're
accessible at all.<br>

More luck than good judgement I suspect.<br>
