It seems to me hang is resolved after recent changes in init.c - commit 
"Fix the init cleanup order" (

58a8fc25d73d8558df25d998f85d4714fbbe74ac)

.
May be cleanup function could free error list after all other clean-up code.


I would like to test engine "reference counters but build fail - please 
apply patch 0003-build-with-defined-ENGINE_REF_COUNT_DEBUG.patch.


I'm not sure that memory leaks are resolved - valgrind report that 
err_string_lock and ex_data_lock are not freed.



Now some regression tests of an engine fail with "corrupted 
double-linked list" .Tests call openssl dgst command with key from file 
or engine. Keys are rsa, dsa and ec. Digest verify command fail only if 
key format is from engine , key is EC key with prime256v1 or secp521r1. 
Tests pass with EC secp384r1. Also all test pass if engine code print 
debug messages to stderr.

I use "0004-avoid-corrupted-double-linked-list-in-EVP_PKEY.patch" as 
work-around.
