I've just realised that this opens a whole can of worms, relating to two 
different definitions of the PRF+ function. There is a PRF+ defined in RFC4402, 
which uses a network byte order 4-octet value as the counter. Then there is the 
PRF+ defined in RFC6113 which uses a single octet value as the counter.

As specified, rxgk uses both of these PRF+s - the 4402 one for key derivation, 
and the 6113 one for key combination. However, in the YFS implementation, we 
are actually using a 6113 PRF+ for both derivation and combination.

Cheers,

Simon
