Alex, |

Thanks for the bug reports. It turns out I screwed up the conversion |
| 10 |
from enabling the protection with a hardcoded #define to enabling it |
| 11 |
during configuration, but I believe the updated v1.3 patch has fixed |
| 12 |
this. It also covers the seed buffer allocation bug. I'll be updating |
| 13 |
the web page to reflect the new release shortly... |

Let us know of any more issues you run into. It's great to have more |
| 16 |
eyes on the code; the more auditing this stuff gets, the better I'll |
| 17 |
feel about asking people to trust it. |
