Let's see. There's 4097, 4098 and even 4099. And then there's 4100. ;-p

IMHO all those discussions about key sizes are really pathetic. Stick 
with the defaults or educate yourself by reading the appropriate 
literature instead of starting one non-sensical discussion after the 
other on this mailing list. It should be rather obvious by now that key 
sizes above 2048 are mostly a matter of personal taste and bad 
judgement.
