Bad Magic

I'm trying to do a proof of concept using Stunnel on AIX 6.1.

Without stunnel I'd have:

Telnet session -> listening service

With stunnel, I want:

telnet session -> stunnel client -[secure connection]--> Stunnel server  -->listening service.

The stunnel client seems to be working fine, but the stunnel server abends as soon as it receives a secure connection.







Client:

Accepts non-secure on port 33342.  Forwards to secure socket 33343

(this is an abend - core file gets created).



log file exactly matches the standard output.

Any idea what's going wrong here?

Should I be concerned that it looks like it is executing "free_function" from within an if statement "if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER<0x1010000L but my openssl version is

Troubleshooting so far:


-          I had the same problem with earlier versions of openssl.

-          I've tried this with 5.37 as well (based on Brian McGinity's post from a few days ago), but get the same error.
