I think this might be a one in a million failure... and we can probably delete the test because it's probably covered by tests added since that one.

Jeremy rambling about probability

OK, for a completely random input; the odds of a successful PKCS1 decryption are

• First byte == 0x00: 1/256 (0.4%)
• Second byte == 0x02: 1/256
• Bytes [2] through [10] not being 0: POWER(255/256, 8) (~97%)
• There's a 0x00 beyond [10]. 1 - POWER(255/256, len - 10).
  • This is a RSA2048 key, so len is 256, so len-10 is 246, so that comes out to about 62%
• 9.14e-6
• Invert that to get the 1-in-a number: 109385

That's for random. This is for derived. That changes the probability to... something. "What are the odds that modpow(x, n, d) and modpow(y, n, d) are both PKCS1-conforming when y2038 = ~x2038, y2037 = ~x2037, ... y2031 = ~x2031; otherwise yi = xi, and modpow(x, n, d) is pkcs-conforming?" Shrug, say one in a million, move on.

Bonus points to anyone who can actually work that out.

Clearly my test writing efforts would be better spent on buying lottery tickets.
