Haha, so now that has me wondering just how embarrassing this bug
really is... something buggy in JS/V8's type massaging perhaps?  How on
earth does this go unnoticed for (ostensibly) a long time.

openssl bug look like child's play.

Oh no... this will just give more ammo to the "force strict typing"
crowd!!  ;-)   <--- sort of

Google programmer skill seems to be devolving to level of MS, which I

If someone finds actual details (or a git commit!) post it here...
