Brian; _*I*_ am working on the cryptographic design if this code; I am very grateful for the help you have come up with re the kthreads stuff, but you are far off beam with what has been decided and agreed with here. I have a solution in the wings; now please back out the change, like I asked you tou, and pass such changes by me before making them.
