On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to in a
record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will write a
separate record, which will be read separately by the programs trying
to read from it. This can be very confusing.
The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer text
until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a line at a
time, so every record written will be an actual line, not chunks of
lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've seen it once) several
lines in one record. Voila, BIO_f_linebuffer() is born.
Since we're so close to release time, I'm making this VMS-only for
now, just to make sure no code is needlessly broken by this. After
the release, this BIO method will be enabled on all other platforms as
well.

BN_mod_mul_montgomery, which calls bn_sqr_recursive

bn_sqr_recursive requires the length of its argument to be

There's no reason for not using BN_sqr -- if a simpler
approach to squaring made sense, then why not change
BN_sqr? (Using BN_sqr should also speed up DH where g is chosen
such that it becomes small [e.g., 2] when converted
