Title: Exception: 9key_error error Post by: bitcoin2paysafe on May 14, 2010, 06:07:50 PM Today, I've got an error message:
Exception: 9key_error CKey::CKey(); EC:KEY_new_by_curve_name failed bitcoin in ThreadBitcoinMiner() Console: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'key_error' what(): CKey::CKey() : EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name failed Aborted I hope that isn't a buffer overflow. Have anybody this error message too?

I've never seen that fail before. It's a call to OpenSSL that I assumed would never fail, but I put an error check there just in case. I can't imagine how it would fail. Out of memory maybe. The code is: key.h: EC_KEY* pkey; pkey = EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name(NID_secp256k1); if (pkey == NULL) throw key_error("CKey::CKey() : EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name failed"); NID_secp256k1 is a constant. |
