Whoops.  I should pay more attention to deadlines ;).

In the example, the S/MIME capability:

SEQUENCE {
  OBJECT IDENTIFIER
  rc2CBC (1 2 840 113549 3 2)
  INTEGER 160
  }

should probably be:

SEQUENCE {
  OBJECT IDENTIFIER
  rc2CBC (1 2 840 113549 3 2)
  INTEGER 40
  }

(notice the INTEGER 40).  In the capabilities, the keylengths for RC2 are
stored unobfuscated.  Since this is an example, it may not be important that
this be correct.
