I assume you mean the OpenSSL implementation of RSA, or is that an 
absolute rule?  The bugdemo that is attached to the bug report comes 
with a DH key produced by something else (or so I assume, since I 
couldn't see anything OpenSSL-related in that key).  This means that 
someone might use BN routines with RSA keys coming from other sources as 
well, and in that case, would it be possible to see small variances in 
the number of significant bits?
