I used SSL and I tried it on Gentoo Linux and Windows.  The Windows is 
all my own compiling as I am using the Intel C++ compiler to compile 
everything (which of course causes me problems with some 
gems/addons/libraries as they are precompiled for Windows and do not 
include nmake makefile or VS project files and then I have to TRY to 
manually make a makefile for them)

But I digress, on both platforms, I got the exact same lack of a problem.
