> Please note that that 50% extra is only used for instantiating the
DRBG. On reseed we it only uses 256 bits.
True. And now we're finding that VMS won't work. And I bet there are other
systems that will also find this amount excessive.

Shrug.

The 1.1.0 code was pre-DRBG and was a piece of crap. Using AES/DRBG is
stronger, better, and for the normal case 128 bits is enough.
