Dear all,
this should not have happened:
The private key may have leading zero bytes, and the size of the BIGNUM is used
for the length of the octetstring rather then the field_len.
The length of the BIGNUM does not include any leading zeros.
Try the attached diff.
$ for i in `seq 1 1000` ; do if [ "x`openssl ecparam -genkey -name
prime256v1 -noout > key.pem; ls -l key.pem | sed '/ 227 /d'`" != " x" ];
then echo; cat key.pem;else echo -n "."; fi; done

Conforming to the standards the EC private key has always a fixed length,
defined by the group order.

Ann.
