Me too. Everything works well on VC++ 6.0 /NT4 SP5.
Nevertheless I think we should improve the DH key generation.
I've seen that it generates strong primes with a generator of 2 or 5.
(Is it still required to have strong primes for DH?)
I can't imagine that this is practicable for EDH because it's
very time consuming. I suggest implementing the generation of
the DH material according to rfc2631.
