Comment:

 I made a branch -- "curve25519-donna32" -- for this, and merged it to
 0.2.4 and later.  My changelog entry:
 {{{
   o Major bugfixes:

     - Fix a bug in the bounds-checking in the 32-bit curve25519-donna
       implementation that caused incorrect results on 32-bit
       implementations when certain malformed inputs were used along with
       a small class of private ntor keys. This bug does not currently
       appear to allow an attacker to learn private keys or impersonate a
       Tor server, but it could provide a means to distinguish 32-bit Tor
       implementations from 64-bit Tor implementations. Fixes bug 12694;
       bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Bug found by Robert Ransom; fix from
       Adam Langley.
 }}}

 (Arma has looked this over and asked me to merge it.)
