[openssl-users] How do I uninitialize OpenSSL properly?

[Jakob Bohm]

(Top posting to keep thread consistent).

It is also worth noting that if OpenSSL is used in a
plugin, which is unloaded (along with OpenSSL) and later
reloaded long before the container process is unloaded,
then "things that are only allocated once per OpenSSL
library lifetime" become very real memory leaks in that
container process.
