Bad exit code with pkeyutl -verify in 1.0.2f

I know this is an ancient version, but I was wondering if this was a known bug so I could figure out which release it was fixed in, as I have to disable the check for the exit status in my regression tests:

I'm unclear why it says "Signature Verified Successfully" but then exits with 1.

It looks like it was fixed here:

https://github.com/openssl/openssl/commit/7e1b7485706c2b11091b5fa897fe496a2faa56cc#diff-91617164072ee6a7ebbae1d9aecf2916064cedf9623c56b3ae46b1d310a50963R296

although the commit doesn't mention an explicit bug.

Was 1.0.2 using "issues" in Github, or were bugs tracked somewhere else?  I can't remember...

Thanks,

-Philip
