Summary: These appear to be broken

I have also written (an even shorter) program which appears to show that
the setkey(3)/encrypt(3) library routines are broken, this time on
BSD4.2.  I don't have it here, but the basics are that the program
fragment:

	setkey(key);
	encrypt(block, 0);
	encrypt(block, 1);

Should be a no-op on "block", but is not.

Could someone confirm that this is true?  Or explain where the
documentation fails?
