Any ideas on whether the comment in the source about the "effective
key length" trick being an export control deal is true?

If there were a known version of this floating around known to have a
40-bit restriction, is it likely that the restriction would be done by
always supplying "40" as the "bits" parameter, or would be it by
simply limiting the user key length?
