Even though this fix have been backported and applied to release/2.3 and
older, we will only plan releases for v2.3 and v2.4.  We have mainly
backported this issue to release/2.3, but it was very easy to cherry-pick
this fix to the older branches; thus it was done so.

This patch is also sent out to the list a bit earlier than we normally
do , as the security impact of this issue is considered to be minimal.
This requires configurations to use --key-method 1 and will only work
in some of the many possible configuration possibilities.  When also 
considering that --key-method 2 have been the default since April 2005,
then it is hopefully clear that this is not a very critical issue.

This patch has been applied to the following branches
