Not to me. Can you please provide an actual code sample or set of inputs that
will make it behave wrongly?
What happens is if my data is not a multiple of 3, line 193 causes problem
193 for (i = inputparts = 0; i < 3; i++) {
No, the rest of the code doesn't mishave due to that as far as I can see.
It tend to pick up noise from the end of the array and encode that also!
No, as it'll only use data from the input as long as insize is greater than
zero. Your suggested "fix" will however cause it to misbehave...
