can lead to corruption. This change allows all bignum tests to pass with
BN_DEBUG and BN_DEBUG_RAND debugging and valgrind. NB: This should be
tested on a few different architectures and configuration targets, as the
bignum code this deals with is quite preprocessor (and assembly) sensitive.

external software that will adapt if they have used something like

the moment of this writing the code was tested only on Alpha. If
compiled with DEC C the C implementation exhibits 12% performance
improvement over the crypto/bn/asm/alpha.s (on EV56 box running
AlphaLinux). GNU C is (unfortunately) 8% behind the assembler
implementation. But it's OpenVMS Alpha users who *may* benefit most
as 'apps/openssl speed rsa' exhibits 6 (six) times performance
improvement over the original VMS bignum implementation. Where "*may*"
