This particular bug seems to have gotten a decent amount
of attention. At first it wasn't clear whether the
problem was in AES, the specific AES implementation, the
way the test was conducted, or in the test itself. As
time went on, that was clarified, and once the matter
was brought to the attention of the author of the test
(which should not be done by waiting for him to read this
newsgroup!) he in fact did respond.
