[xmlsec] Re: A question for LibXmlSec

[Aleksey Sanin]

I don't have fix simply because this happens *only* on Windows and it is not
my primary development platform. Most likely you have problems with ms c
runtime libraries (there are 4 incompatible version and if you use two 
different
libraries in one application you likely have a crash). This is described 
in OpenSSL
FAQ and in XMLSec mailing list.
However, I may be wrong and there is a bug somewhere. But I accept 
patches :)
