Thanks for the patch; I'm going to do it slightly differently. I've also added this note to the documentation for this option: Note that this option exists only to help in connecting certain legacy, out-of-date, broken servers; most users should not specify this option at all. Using this option without knowing what you are doing can reduce the effectiveness of your encrypted connection. It'll be in the next version, to be released shortly.
