openssl and libressl are shipping broken in 2009 elliptic curve
secp112r1.

$openssl ecparam -list_curves
secp112r1 : SECG/WTLS curve over a 112 bit prime field

>PlayStation 3 computing breaks 2^60 barrier 112-bit prime ECDLP solved

>This elliptic curve is standardized in the Standard for Efficient

Good luck to those who have crypto ideals.
