.IX Header "BUGS"
Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to
\&\fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR could not be made after calling \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR.
+.PP
+Since the public key is passed in the call to \fIEVP_SignFinal()\fR any error
+relating to the private key (for example an unsuitable key and digest
+combination) will not be indicated until after potentially large amounts of
+data have been passed through \fIEVP_SignUpdate()\fR.
+.PP
+It is not possible to change the signing parameters using these function.
+.PP
+The previous two bugs are fixed in the newer EVP_VerifyDigest*() function.
