The sizeof invocations do not return the pointer sizes, but the size of 
the structures pointed to.

The problem is that there's apparently a copy&paste error:

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/53ba0a9e91ad203de2943edaf1090ab17ec435fa

172 memset(param, 0, sizeof *paramid);
173 memset(paramid, 0, sizeof *paramid);

The first memset should be fixed to use "*param" instead of "*paramid":

memset(param, 0, sizeof *param);
