+ four characters long. This led to awkward situations where an export with
+ a password with fewer than four characters was possible, but accessing the
+ file afterwards failed. OpenSSL::PKey::RSA, OpenSSL::PKey::DSA and
+ OpenSSL::PKey::EC therefore now enforce the same check when exporting a
+ private key to PEM with a password - it has to be at least four characters
+ long.
