* Why does the OpenSSL test fail with "bc: stack empty"?
On some DG/ux versions, bc seems to have a too small stack for calculations
that the OpenSSL bntest throws at it. This gets triggered when you run the
test suite (using "make test"). The message returned is "bc: stack empty".
The best way to deal with this is to find another implementation of bc
and compile/install it. GNU bc (see http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html
for download instructions) can be safely used, for example.
