Not necessarily. I have no problems with hashlib or Python/M2Crypto/OpenSSL as long as I'm doing memory-oriented operations. It is only when the function does I/O that errors occur. ...like reading/writing a PEM file, randpool.dat, etc.

I'm probably missing something here. Python 2.6/3.x uses OpenSSL for the hashlib and ssl modules. Doesn't this mean that this applink.c file is part of the standard build now?
