affects pretty sure only i686

openssl-1.0.1e-4.fc19.x86_64
openssl-1.0.1e-28.fc19.x86_64
openssl-1.0.1e-29.fc19.x86_64

are all stable, also the F18 x86_64 builds and used on production servers
here from day ones with recompiled http/postfix/dovecot to provide working
Forward Secrecy

maybe older CPU's are the reason too, nobody is using i686 on recent ones
