Well, I solved my problem with the patch below. It has nothing to do
with the symptoms I described earlier but he, I'm using HP-sUX.

The URL including the name/value pairs has a length of max 320 so that
shouldn't be a problem.

HP-sUX crashes on printing the algoritms' name when it is not set. Other
system apparently don't suffer from this, as I have never heard about it.
Well, HP-sUX does. Here's the patch against 3.1.5.
