Section 7.2 and 7.3 says:

In 7.2:

if (exportable)
                   {
                           Kseq = HMAC(Kss, "fortybits", (int32)0);
                                        // len includes terminating null
                           memset(Kseq+7, 0xab, 7)
                   }

In 7.3:
 
if (exportable)
                   {

                           Kcrypt = HMAC(Klocal, "fortybits", (int32)0);
                                       // len includes terminating null
                           memset(Kcrypt+7, 0xab, 7);
                   }

Again in 7.3:

if (exportable)
                   {
                           Kseq = HMAC(Kss, "fortybits", (int32)0);
                                       // len includes terminating null
                           memset(Kseq+7, 0xab, 7)
                   }

It should say:

In 7.2:

if (export)
                   {
                           Kseq = HMAC(Kss, "fortybits", (int32)0);
                                        // len includes terminating null
                           memset(Kseq+7, 0xab, 7)
                   }

In 7.3:
 
if (export)
                   {

                           Kcrypt = HMAC(Klocal, "fortybits", (int32)0);
                                       // len includes terminating null
                           memset(Kcrypt+7, 0xab, 7);
                   }

Again in 7.3:

if (export)
                   {
                           Kseq = HMAC(Kss, "fortybits", (int32)0);
                                       // len includes terminating null
                           memset(Kseq+7, 0xab, 7)
                   }

Notes:

misnamed "export" argument . Larry Zhu confirmed this issue

Sean Turner add (as pointed out by Magnus Nystrom) that there were actually three exportable/export replacements needed: 1 in Section 7.2 and two in Section 7.3.
