Oh, looking at the code (*) it seems they are really messed up in the original with bytes vs. 32-bit words! Since the above has been tested, let me put this on TODO list to clarify this mess and run with another testing. Sounds good to you? *) the mythical comment about max 5 items for 20-byte buffer is worrying and now I know why, -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
