It's a case of an update needed, I think as a result of PP/07. I fixed
the bit-count to be 8*byte-count, as it was a bug before. I needed to
canonicalise to get the correct bit count for feeding into Cyrus SASL as
the external SSF (and also exported as $tls_bits while I was at it).

The TLS1.2 part will be from PP/10 of the 4.77 release, which enabled
later versions of TLS.

I confess that I tend to only run the test suite against OpenSSL builds,
I need to sort out a better framework for building and testing against
mutually incompatible options. At this point, you're doing a better job
of running the test suite than I am.
