commit 1f364068334012bb2cdf59ac1c28644941bf234c
Author: Petr Lautrbach <plautrba at redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Oct 23 22:41:53 2013 +0200

    Increase the size of the Diffie-Hellman groups requested for a each
    symmetric key size.  New values from NIST Special Publication 800-57 with
    the upper limit specified by RFC4419.  Pointed out by Peter Backes, ok
    djm at . (#1010607)
