Thanks, yet another quantum of knowledge that makes one's life irreversibly ever so slightly worse. But not as bad as encryption (and learning all the terrible ways most applications have broken implementations in)

What applications? Almost nobody writes their own implementations of encryption nowadays (nor should they). You mean openssl is "broken"?

By broken implementations I meant incorrect usage of cryptographic APIs - padding errors, nonce reuse, using weak hash functions, etc.
