Ulf:
I use bin2bn to generate the BNs for P and G, and the char lengths are
correct AND statically defined in the .h file, so they are the same
every time. Then I generate the key using DH_generate_key() and
BN_num_bytes() to determine the length of the key. Is that incorrect?
The reason I found the error is that I use the DH struct to provide a
key to the blowfish encryption function and it would fail sometimes.
