-    o BIGNUM library failures on 64-bit platforms (0.9.7-dev):
-      - BN_mod_mul verificiation (bc) fails for solaris64-sparcv9-cc

+    o [2002-11-21]
+      PR 343 mentions that scrubbing memory with 'memset(ptr, 0, n)' may
+      be optimized away in modern compilers.  This is definitely not good
+      and needs to be fixed immediately.  The formula to use is presented
+      in:
 
-       Checked on                      Result
-       alpha-cc (Tru64 version 4.0)    works
