I already did:

The thread I pointed you to was what I was told by the crypto list:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-crypto-vger&m=145620853015626&w=2
In that thread, the developer was also apparently made aware:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-crypto/msg17931.html
I think bringing it up to the developer and the crypto mailing list again is
unlikely to get this issue addressed, as they are both aware of it.
later,
