While I don't think any of the TDE devs are going to touch the source code
to improve functionality, we can at least act as a central collection
point for patches, bugs reports, etc. Given the library's age I don't
think much work beyond fixing future compilation errors or segfaults will
be neeed.

One example of many:

That's clear enough, thanks.
And here is a combination of all of the patches:

Did you create the changes? If not, where did you find them? Looking
at the original source, the code looks very difficult to maintain. It
really makes you appreciate C++.
