Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
+ *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
+ seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, no application
+ author has done anything to provide the necessary callbacks, which
+ means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
+ This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
+ of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
+ of libcrypto.
+ NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
+ appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
+ dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
+ make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
+ have to be made anyway).

*) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
