Description Steven Dake 2012-02-24 23:04:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
openssl is a dependent package of many other packages.  It produces unclean memory which requires huge lists of supressions when using openssl with valgrind.

A simple solution of adding -DPURIFY to the ./Configure command fixes these valgrind problems

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openssl-1.0.0g-1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run an openssl application in valgrind.
2. I use a libssh2 application of a project I am developing
3. Project is at http://www.pacemaker-cloud.org

valgrind caps out on errors.  
  
Actual results:
valgrind warnings from data that comes from openssl

Expected results:
no valgrind warnings from data that comes from openssl

I will consider it for F18.

Tomas,

Thank you.  Until it makes it into the main distro I'll just build my own rpms for this package based upon your spec file.

Regards
