Good! That means that libgcrypt won't cause this sort of problem that OpenSSL causes: https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-users/2015-January/000295.html or that libgcrypt caused on Windows at one point: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3270 I remember some issue such as this coming up somewhere in Wireshark, but it might have been bug 3270. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
