It also seems unusual that what appears to be a generic function call in the bignum library is in fact a helper function for a specific application and as such not useful for others. Writing my own prime generator is simple enough, but perhaps BN_generate_prime would be more appropriately named BN_generate_rsa_prime or something.

I agree that the current behaviour is not really optimal (in
