What are the key lengths generated by openssl? Do they remove a bit? Do
they add a bit?
Is this something that cn be controlled thru the SSLRandom feature? One log
entry does show 1036 bytes of entropy...

A coworker found this on a microsoft site:
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 4.01, 4.01
Service Pack 1, 5 for Windows 95
Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02a, 3.03, 4.0,
4.01 for Windows NT 3.51
Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 4.01, 4.01
Service Pack 1, 5 for Windows NT 4.0
Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5 for Windows 98
SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to a secure Web site, you may receive the
following error message:
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site https://<address>
An error occurred in the secure channel support
CAUSE
This error message can occur if the server uses a certificate with a
nonstandard length. The nonstandard length results in a nonstandard public
key length, which Internet Explorer does not support. Internet Explorer
supports only public keys with standard lengths (such as 512 bits, 1024
bits, 2048 bits, and so on).
RESOLUTION
To be compatible with Internet Explorer, the site using the nonstandard
public key length should generate a new certificate request using a
standard length (such as 512, 1024, or 2048 bits). The site then needs to
obtain a new corresponding certificate.
As a possible workaround, re-register the Rsabase.dll file by clicking
Start, clicking Run, typing regsvr32 rsabase.dll in the Open box, and then
clicking OK.
