Subject: to_bin method returns garbage when value is zero
Hi, A Debian user reports the following problem: perl -MMIME::Base64 -MCrypt::OpenSSL::Bignum -we 'print encode_base64(Crypt::OpenSSL::Bignum->zero->to_bin)' returns different garbage every time it's run. Expected result would be the empty string. Example outputs: 8BPYAQ== 8DPj 8CPJ 8IOn 8KMSAg== cheers,

I'm not seeing this on the OpenSuse distro I use, so it will be difficult for me to address this without more information. If the user uses CPAN to build and install from source, do they see the same result? That would help to clarify whether it's an issue with the core module or the Debian packaging of it. - Ian On Thu Nov 29 07:53:41 2012, GUIMARD wrote: Show quoted text
