  Fuck you punk, if you know version of openssl you must say it. What the
 fuck is "older"? 0.9.8? 0.9.7? 0.9.6? No need more spreading bullshit.
 hardkor can make itself. I hope you are not the same person.

 Except bullshit about DoS over localhost (read the code assholes, find
 diff between localhost and real world before post shit), it's probably
 about compression that still working for relays that linked with "older"
 (as said punk) openssl version.
 {{{
   /* Don't actually allow compression; it uses ram and time, but the data
    * we transmit is all encrypted anyway. */
   if (result->ctx->comp_methods)
     result->ctx->comp_methods = NULL;
 }}}
