This all looks right. So I'm not sure why you're getting the crash. We're relying on the INTERNAL flag to ensure the internal algorithm is not picked up except when we strictly ask for it. In fact I see something fishy in your testmgr code (the last patch in the series I think). It's setting the INTERNAL bit when allocating tfms, that does not look right. The only one that should be setting this is mcryptd.
