Removing the src==dst check solves the freeze problem, but the
encryption/decryption results are wrong:

Encryption:
Should be: 	69c4e0d86a7b0430d8cdb78070b4c55a
But is:	c8a331ff8edd3db175e1545dbefb760b

Decryption:
Should be:	00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff
But is:	69c4e0d86a7b0430d8cdb78070b4c55a (same as input)
