> Run wl-beta for a period of time, eventually emacs will probably stop responding (unfortunatly it seems to happen once/twice a week of continuous wl use). Kill emacs (might not be the best coures of action, now that I think of it...). open ssl will take 100% of cpu and need to be killed.

If you think it's a wl-beta issue, feel free to move it and call me a noob, but I think that an error in another program shouldn't cause this one to make a system nearly unresponsive. I think it's just poorly filed, then. I don't have the knowledge yet to diagnose why it's hitting 100%.

Tatsuya,

Can you help me with this?  I have no idea how wl works and how it
uses openssl.  Can you reproduce this?
