 I have been having a discussion with some friends of mine on this. 
They were thinking that the problem from the recent random number issue
is a real problem in older 32 bit systems.  I was thinking it is not as
bad as they are thinking.  Since I was looking into this with the old
bitcoin code I thought I would take a look.  The myriad of code in the
EC area is a problem to back trace.  So I picked up the old 0.9.8h and
bitcoin 1.0.  This would be a good way to diagram how it works.  I see a
BN _new and then a bunch of work after that.  One suggestion is they
used a get milli command to fill the 64 bits.  I thought that was
silly.  So I thought I would ask.  Attached is the key h file.  I was
not sure if it can be diagrammed as there are some base changes as best
I can tell.

Dave.
