If it works with the only variable being the version of cygcrypto then I think that's pretty strong evidence that there is some regression in cygcrypto. It's odd that it is intermittent, though. Does anyone know anything about cygcrypto? Are there functions that maybe aren't reentrant? The only reasons I can think of for it sometimes working are either threading issues, using uninitialized memory, or memory corruption (buffer overflow somewhere perhaps).
