Hi Michael,

The static in crypto:algorithms/0 is used to perform the initialization of
the list of supported algos only once. Looking it again if have to admit
that there is a small windows for a race that would overrun the static array
if two process called it at the time when cnt is zero.

I'll move the initialization to the init function...

Andreas
