DH key exchange security

There's a thread on one of the other lists about DH security where several people have said that 1024 bit DH has a strength of about 80 bits. But in SSL3 1024 bit ephemeral DH is used to protect the keys for 168 bit 3DES (EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA and EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA ciphers). Are those ciphers
