Dear Sirs and Mesdames;

Thanks Werner for putting out a new snapshot.  It works for me, no
problems with the compile and/or function.

I'm a little bit paranoid about the Klima/Rosa attack.  Examining the
source code, it doesn't appear that there has been any change in the
verification of the secret keys in cipher/dsa.c or cipher/rsa.c.
Admittedly, each of these has one of the tests outlined by Klima/Rosa in
their paper, but why weren't the other ones added?  Florian had a patch to
do so, was there some reason it wasn't put in?  Am I missing something?

Thanks,

A. Stephen Beach
