Ah, maybe that's the problem.  The RSA_sign() man page from OpenSSL says:

       RSA_sign() signs the message digest m of size m_len using the private
       key rsa as specified in PKCS #1 v2.0. It stores the signature in sigret
       and the signature size in siglen. sigret must point to RSA_size(rsa)
       bytes of memory.

So maybe this is a dead end for me, at least for now.
