Re: Various bugs with PG7.1 8th March snapshot on Solaris 8 INTEL

Hi Tom,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to this stuff. Being busy in Life.

Has anything else regarding general broken int8 tests been found out,
with regards to it being caused by OpenSSL. If that's the case
shouldn't we ask the OpenSSL guys about known issues, or at least let
them know that something may be wrong?

They're up to beta2 of their next release so now's probably the time to
work things out.

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
