thanks for the analysis. Surely upstream will also know what happens
with that patch? I forwarded your summary to 
https://github.com/vincenthz/cryptonite/issues/26#issuecomment-134887913

Are you going to refine your patch?

I can do the give-backs, and just have done so. I also opened
https://github.com/vincenthz/cryptonite/issues/29
about this
