Hi All, I haven't received an answer, so I am giving it another try.... Does anybody have a clue?

For some reasons, when I select the pair (2048 bit, 256 bit) as parameter size, only the prime divisor q is of 256 bit, but the private key (x) is of 224 bit. The other three values are ok. It does work properly with the other two "long" combinations (3072 bit, 256 bit) and (2048 bit, 224 bit), as specified by FIPS 186-3, chapter 4.2. See code and example below. Any clues? Is that a bug in the library or am I missing something?
