It was posted the other day by Herbert Valerio Riedel:

known problems with the international crypto patch on 2.4.x:

*) non-reentrant --> don't use it on SMP (unless you can enforce
non-parallel execution of the transfer functions)
if you want to do some work on it, please go ahead; I can tell you where
you should begin to look at...

*) transfer block size dependend IV size (there is a fix for this one in
the cryptoapi re-package, see the included README file for more about
it)

This will be enough to help you find all the heated conversations using
google/google groups/linux-crypto archive.
