Is this now fixed for EVP_Encrypt() and EVP_Decrypt() or only the
xxInit,xxUpdate,xxFinal sequences?  Or must I set padding off?
If this is resolved, I can go back and rerun the NIST AES certification
tests for CFB with 8 bit block sizes.  Needless to say they failed before.

Yes, it does indeed seem to be fixed.  Seeing that OFB and CFB are
pretty fundamental, shouldn't a fix like that merit a b4 release,
particularly considering how long it's been since b3? :)
