Done and done.

Done.

Okay, changed this way.  I looked previously at that description but
let it as-is.

Good catch.  As far as I understand this code, the message is not
included yet and random bytes are just added to avoid having 0 in the
padding.  So I agree that the memset is not really meaningful to
have on the whole buffer.  I can take care of that as well, and of
course you get the credits.  If you want to commit and back-patch the
fix yourself, please feel free to do so.

I am attaching an updated patch.  I'll do an extra pass on it in the
next couple of days and commit if there is nothing.  The diff stats
are nice:
32 files changed, 60 insertions(+), 1181 deletions(-)

Thanks a lot for the reviews!
