Hi Sebastian,

My problem was just Pound - I'm just a user when it comes to
these tools.

I do not know how widespread this problem is or how common it is
for projects to use openssl dhparam -C during their build process
(as opposed to running it once and including the output in their
a source distribution). I performed a few quick searches and
found some examples - but not many.

The more I think about it, the more disappointed I am that
OpenSSL upstream don't feel it's worth their while to simply make
their code generator backwards compatible. But it's not my call.

I don't know how much effort is justified here, I just wanted to
be sure it was on your radar. Thank you for considering my
report.

Cheers,
 - Bjarni
