Yeah, whoa. Seems I did know about that [judging by the code] but its
been so darn long.
I think by the LTC code base my intentions were quite clear. That
people are not likely to hash 2^61 bytes of data and using two 64-bit
counters for the length would waste time.
Sorry for flying off the handle there. Just kinda tired of people
poking erroneous bugs at me its a shock when there are real concerns
:-)
