[openssl-users] Core dump on DSA_free -- libssl.so.1.0.0

Please read what I wrote.

The d2i functions *modify the pointer they are given.*  You have to give them a temporary copy.

Thanks for look into this,

void * pKey = LockResource(hHandle);

The code works most of the time, only occasionally generates exception and Not sure why on DSA_free(pDSA);

Where and how is pKey set?  Not that the manpage says it's incremented to point *past* the object, so you need something like
        unsigned char data = .....whatever your data source is .....
        unsigned char *pKey = data
and then use &pKey in your call
