Good eye, and thanks!

It did not occur to me that the difference would be so subtle as three bits, 
as I normally expect encryption to propagate even small bit differences 
across the entire block.  Oops!  Bad assumption!

Now it looks like I have a bug to find in my own code, but that is so much 
better than suspecting a problem somewhere else! :)

Thanks again,
