Example 6.3 in examples-10 states that the example is "Basic encrypted
content, RC2/40 and RSA".  The RC2 parameter value is:

248 02 1: INTEGER 58

Which I believe corresponds to a 128-bit effective key length, not a
40-bit effective key length.

Man, we went through this a zillion times when we writing S/MIME v2. Could someone verify this for me? I'm happy changing the title of the example, but don't want to fall into the same hole we have in the past.
