I still have no response from anyone in the cryptoapi
developer group. However, if you are still having problems,
I have confirmed an April 2002 patch set that does not
exhibit this problem. It takes manual patching to get
it to work with 2.4.20 (and if you are using arm, or
a couple other non-i385 architectures it fails), but
I've been able to get working crypto kernels that way.

I have been completely unable to get the current cvs
tree patches to work. I have no idea what is wrong
with them, or more likely, what is missing from the
documentation about what has been changed.

Let me know if you'd like the old set.
