Yes, in hindsight, some sort of exp-run would have been appropriate here
-- there's too much that depends on openssl to take liberties with that
port.

Now I'm getting moaned at because the nagios-plugins package amongst
others are not available in our package repo.  Which is particularly
galling because this security fix only bit me due to using ports openssl
and turning off SSLv2 and SSLv3 as *security* enhancements.

Thanks to Bernard for his page of patches -- they're very welcome.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
