 In some versions of OpenSSL the "reuse" behaviour of d2i_TYPE() when

+B<*a> is valid is broken and some parts of the reused structure may
+persist if they are not present in the new one. Additionally, in versions of
+OpenSSL prior to 1.1.0, when the "reuse" behaviour is used and an error occurs
+the behaviour is inconsistent. Some functions behaved as described here, while
+some did not free B<*a> on error and did not set B<*a> to NULL.

+As a result of the above issues the "reuse" behaviour is strongly discouraged.
 
 i2d_TYPE() will not return an error in many versions of OpenSSL,
 if mandatory fields are not initialized due to a programming error
