David, 

I'll provide the goat. (I also have a book of Special Incantations I use in 
such cases...) 


Do you have 'reservations' about the openssl gang's inclinations to incorporate 
these changes?

Yeah, don't do that. Just apply the patches which are in OpenSSL RT 
waiting to be applied. 

For 0.9.8: 
http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2067&user=guest&pass=guest 
For 1.0.0: 
http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2065&user=guest&pass=guest 
For HEAD: 
http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2045&user=guest&pass=guest 


If you could also sacrifice a goat or something in the hope that some of 
these patches will eventually make it into OpenSSL, that would also be 
appreciated.
