Underscore prefix detection fix

Thanks for checking the patch in.
I tested trunk, and it seems to be working fine.
Two things strike me as odd though:

make check displays (while benchmarking):
ECDSA 192 bit    300000ms   7500000ms     13800000ms
ECDSA 224 bit    400000ms   9400000ms     17900000ms
ECDSA 256 bit    500000ms   11500000ms     22300000ms
ECDSA 384 bit    1000000ms   25700000ms     49600000ms
ECDSA 521 bit    2600000ms   64800000ms     126000000ms

Shouldn't the last line read ECDSA 512 bit?

The other oddity is, when I build with i586 assembly, the checks run  
_slower_ than in i386 mode.
I get 1min 19sec vs. 2min 14sec on a MacBook CoreDuo 1.83GHz with 1GB  
RAM.
Even when using aggressive optimisation (CFLAGS="-arch i586 - 
march=yonah -O3 -ffast-math -mfpmath=sse -msse -msse2"), I still only  
get 1min 47secs. For i386, I didn't use any special compiler flags.

What are me and my Mac messing up here?

Regards, G.
