I checked and ENGINE_set_RAND function is being called. What I can't figure out is the following: 1. RAND_get_rand_method() is called to get the random method and in a normal case default_RAND_METHOD would be null which would cause code to call ENGINE_get_rand() to be called to get the random method for the engine associated for RAND. 2. In my particular case something has already caused default_RAND_METHOD to be populated before I load my engine and the only place I see that it can get reset is via RAND_set_rand_method() which can be called by RAND_cleanup() and ENGINE_cleanup().
