Well, I guess the previous mentioned patch doesn't fix all cases. I
still get a lot of warnings during compilation of OpenSSL after applying
the patch that look like this:

| d1_srvr.c: In function 'dtls1_send_server_key_exchange':
| d1_srvr.c:845: warning: function called through a non-compatible type
| d1_srvr.c:845: note: if this code is reached, the program will abort

Below is a list of all source files with their corresponding line
numbers on which the warnings occur:

| d1_clnt.c:912
| d1_srvr.c:845
| s3_clnt.c:1856
| s3_lib.c:1756
| s3_lib.c:1937
| s3_srvr.c:1224
| ssl_cert.c:215

All these lines of code make use of the DHparams_dup() macro, so I
suspect fixing that macro should cure the crashes.
