Yes, I've just installed such a changed version, and ssh
segfaults again. It's also in the public header, so it's really
off limit.

static RC4_KEY rc4;
memset(&rc4, 0, sizeof(rc4));
I see 2 options:
- Wait for the next soname change to start using the assembler
version again.
- Make the assembler version aware of the size of an RC4_KEY.

Right, so it's a good idea to drop it in the future.
The IA64 version atleast seems to have support for using
different sizes of the code, unfortuantly, it does:
#define SZ 4 // this is set to sizeof(RC4_INT)
Instead of just setting it to the sizeof() itself.
So this might require changing too. I'll try and test this on
the ia64 porter machine later.
