With 0.9.8m I'm getting some failures to read PEM files (and do some
other thnigs, I think) that 0.9.8l is happy with.

The PEM files are created by BouncyCastle, I think (though I imagine
0.9.8l could be persuaded to write similarly failing files).  they begin
something like:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CFB,9ab9883444955f24fc4d9ac26efa955d

They seem to be caused by this change, so what's the story behind it?
i.e., how worried should I be that software's currently writing files
that are rejected by the new code in OpenSSL?

    The "block length" for CFB mode was incorrectly coded as 1 all the time. It
    should be the number of feedback bits expressed in bytes. For CFB1 mode set
    this to 1 by rounding up to the nearest multiple of 8.
