Hi Stefan and Chris,
that is an embarrassing bug, fixed by the following:
--- src/main.c.~1.18.~ 2004-03-28 23:59:38.000000000 -0500

What surprises me is that nobody seems to have noticed this before! I
can trace this bug all the way back to the first release of ccrypt in
October 2001.
I have fixed it now, but I won't be in a rush to make a bugfix
release, considering that it took over 3 years for this to bother
anyone. :)
