But the test uses a static key. It used to generate a key on fly but
in some of the last versions I replaced key generation with a static
key:

static RSA *gen_sign_key(void)
{
	unsigned long sign_key_length;
	BIO *bio;
	RSA *key;

	sign_key_length = (unsigned long)&sign_key_end -
			  (unsigned long)&sign_key;

	bio = BIO_new_mem_buf(&sign_key, sign_key_length);
	if (!bio)
		return NULL;

	key = PEM_read_bio_RSAPrivateKey(bio, NULL, NULL, NULL);
	BIO_free(bio);

	return key;
}
