While working with the below perl script, which is one of the more common
scripts to implement RSA, I came across some oddness. When using a key of
more than 512 bits, there is always a seg fault error. Also, the attached
file contains a command which should print out the Lewis Carrol poem
"Jabberwocky" that I found on the internet while searching for other
instances of the bug. I have found it only on OS X, running on TiBooks. 2
were default 10.2.4 installs with the latest Dev Tools installs, and the
other had a long time fink install as well. When running either the script
or just dc directly on a FreeBSD box, there are no errors at all. Have you
had other reports of this problem?
There are other places where the same error has occurred, and it always
seems to be somewhere in the math libraries, but I can't trace it any more
than that, and this is the only reproduceable one that I can find. Any
ideas?
#!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj

lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/)
