If you link in omnisslTP for the SSL transport and have a version of 
openssl installed that was compiled without -DPURIFY, you can look 
forward to the fun of adding more warnings to your suppressions 
file. Apparently, openssl doesn't initialize memory it's using for 
its PRNG. If I understand things correctly, openssl will XOR random 
bytes into newly malloc()'d memory which will cause programs like 
Valgrind and Purify to cry wolf...

FWIW,
