>Description:
Just discovered that ssh/dh.c interprets the /etc/moduli file in a
slightly different way from the documentation, due to an historic
accident (an off by 1 error). Easier to change the documention and
generating program than the installed base ;-)
I'm the original author, as /etc/moduli was originally used in Photuris.
