Private key generated by openssl does not satisfy n = p * q

Question

I've generated a key with openssl by using the following command

openssl genrsa 1024

I've got the following result

By using http://lapo.it/asn1js/ I've decompiled above pem and found out that

p = 12716592588957205057720227362856602359162165918588008158928004904780617816265357754968000322907349867949577092305558696339499022301055839537975977118688137

q = 10059832080410675679274931119486090017360564066559599189867309386706046720813347145402059918876964980032136051476889631968099168811652389989474036177869729

But in the mean time the modulus

n = 127931248913253271289716500205639992466284651287857358177145251825312810367993147780821624164062592337708505486275588028025122128928225266601591073331803580493341719724935049328478344297205955905466581637169109448199715137939448946445804542355907923908845024638480376219852266194827768486624319018352514599977

When it should equal:

N = 127926786079904340486324750015310657558743663036816604629670248604945247855865212421871439992814824964459404054462886419168595224468110358113599485755243718536935880977456835036272916419632947427885989469252242704342884476060911074859116149906854382812141105735147419775039435625802885168567201322191763704873

Why the hell N is not equal to p * q ?

EDIT:

Here is bunch of keys generated by my openssl, I'm using Mac OS X Mavericks, the first key has correct N, the second one incorrect, I haven't checked the others, but anyway this issue seems to be reproducing, I'm using the following openssl version "OpenSSL 0.9.8y 5 Feb 2013":

Confirmed with the key provided. However, I could not duplicate when generating my own key with openssl genrsa 1024.
