There's a bug in the reference code. The 128-bit/12-word code miscounts words when the first word is only one character long, causing the second 64-bit conversion to fail!This code can be fixed several ways: for (eng2 = eng; rc<7 && ((++eng2) != '\0'); ) if (eng2 != ' ') { rc += state; state = 0; } else state=1;I like: for (eng2 = eng; rc<7 && (eng2 != '\0'); eng2++) if (eng2 != ' ') { rc += state; state = 0; } else state=1; eng2--;
