    Interesting... Upon closer inspection of the code, I think (not
    positive) that the IV is in fact being stored as the first block in the
    encrypted data segment... which would explain why the decryption
    routine skips the first block. I think that storing the IV in the
    beginning of the sequence would cause the algorithm to not match test
    vectors, if this is not a standard practice. Author states that
    algorithm conforms to test vectors.

    Still, we're getting side tracked! I can figure out what the algorithm
    is doing. The main question is, fundamentally, is the IV used for
    decryption? Where and when does this occur?
