Thank so much for your comment, Ben.

We are planing to upgrade to the 1.1.0 branch as soon as we can which is 
not so easy to do at this moment as we need the FIPS capability.
Thus, we are still focusing on the 1.0.2 release, and haven't had a 
chance to work on the 1.1.0 branch.  Thus, I won't be able to submit a 
PR against the master branch at this moment.

Thus, I was hoping to get a review on the suggested fix for the 1.0.2 to 
see it is viable by the upstream first.

Would it be possible to get a review on the openssl-dev at openssl.org 
alias? or filing an issue via github is the right course of action?

Thanks again for your comment.
