You need to replace all three instances of 'a' - one in init() and two
in generate() - with 0x20 (ASCII code for whitespace).  You also need to
replace 'z' (there's just one instance of it) with 0x7e.

For half-lengths of up to 8 (inclusive), you need 17 elements in
current[], not 16.  The 17th holds the NUL byte terminating the string.
This is why the original code had:

int length, current[9];
[...]
        if (!current && length < 4) {

Perhaps I need to revise this Double mode sample to make it easier to
customize.

Thank you for your comments.
