Hello Eric,

Perhaps if you will post the code that is not working correctly, I will be 
able to reproduce the problem.

BTW, we use OpenSSL 0.9.7i on Windows here (binaries from 
shininglighthttp://www.shininglightpro.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html). Our 
code works fine with CRLs here.

I have a vague recollection that there were problems with CRLs in some earlier 
versions of 0.9.7, so you may want to try a more recent openssl with your 
net_ssleay.

Cheers.
