The responsible version of software are armchair cryptographers or average programmers trying to get things to 'work'. I bet this all results simply using OpenSSL with a SAMPLE to seed a PRNG or a bad seed of 0's.
To see if it could potentially be a afflicted version of a toolkit, a scatter plot of dates and frequencies of these shared primes would provide a little more information.
