Known issues

  • For an unknown reason, a CPU breakpoint is triggered if text longer than 1976 characters is passed for hashing. I have been researching the problem but couldn't find the exact solution. The breakpoint is triggered when initialising the hash constants. There are indications for it to be a memory allocation problem.
