Subject: RE: Getting a stack warning (VC build), and some other warnings / problems.

Found.

uchar iv[16]  but we put 20 bytes into it.  Opps :)

I have committed (will commit) on mag-jumbo.

There is 'no' stack blow.  It is one var blowing the next. Ppl bitch about
VC, but for many things it us MUCH better than I have seen on any unix or
unix like compiler.  I also know it fails to find a lot of things gcc finds.
But in this case, it was 100% correct, and the bug was easy to spot, once I
stepped into it.
