#11 crash when trying to connect to Mac hosts

[Felix Yan]

I'm getting a crash when using KRDC to connect to any Mac hosts. No crash for Linux or Windows host, though. It looks like to be related to some libgcrypt API change, I have latest libgcrypt 1.6.1 installed.

The error message is:

Fatal: failed to create the RNG lock: Invalid argument
FATAL: failed to acquire the FSM lock in libgrypt: Invalid argument

And backtrace:

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

Sorry, this issue tracker is not monitored, and you're lucky that it did not take yours truly three years to post a reply ;-)

Would you please move this discussion to the mailing list? It is much more likely that you get useful feedback there.

Also, you might want to try with OpenSSL instead of gcrypt, that often helps issues.

Thanks a lot! I've posted to the mailing list :)
