That is the theory. In reality ... this is not always the case. I just had to do a bugfix in lighttpd because the openssl security update, changed how the error code had to be checked.
That is a bug. Bugs happen. That was not meant to happen.
no it wasnt a bug, the change was needed to make the security fix work.
