--- Comment #3 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at dtucker.net> ---
This has been fixed (up to the size allowed by the underlying type,
anyway):

$ ./ssh-keygen -b 99999999
Invalid RSA key length: maximum is 16384 bits

If you want RSA keys larger than 16k you'll need to compile OpenSSL
with the larger limit then compile OpenSSH against that.  It'll
probably be an interop hassle, though.
