To answer that last question: yes, or noone has felt safe enough to
make a professional guess.
phil-openssl-users> Is this something I can supply patches for to

A patch of the correct %table entry in Configure is what we need.
phil-openssl-users> I'm also curious why the RC4_CHAR setting for

Possibly, or speed (I dunno, that's inherited from SSLeay).
