Hi Larry,

The attached patch should do ECB for you.  It works for me on the test data
I obtained from http://www.schneier.com/code/vectors.txt.

I'm off on holiday tomorrow so if it doesn't work as it should I'll take
another look in a couple of weeks.  ;}  If it works OK please reply and
perhaps it can be picked up in a future OTP release.

Cheers,
Paul.
