3des-cfb failing to decrypt

[Jussi Kivilinna]

Hello,

In your example, you are using OpenSSL/libcrypto and mcrypt with CFB-8bit mode.

Libgcrypt CFB-mode works as CFB-64 for 64-bit blockciphers and as CFB-128 for
128-bit.

It then tries to decrypt the cipher text with OpenSSL/libcrypto, libmcrypt and libgcrypt, asserting after each that the decrypted test matches the plaintext. The libcrypto and libmcrypt methods work OK but decrypt_3des_gcrypt doesn't so the assert on line 148 fails.
