Seems like a good idea to me.  The current code doesn't crash and doesn't 
generate an error return.  Is there any other useful thing that a NULL key 
could do?

I don't have a big picture view.  Is there any reason that all of the crypto 
init type procedures can't keep the current key schedule if called with a NULL 
key?

Am I the only one (so far) that is interested in reusing the current key 
schedule to save CPU cycles?
