I thought that TDES input/output vectors had to be an even multiple of the key
length.  As such if the vectors aren't an even multiple, doesn't padding have to
be employed?

I ran into this too when I wrote my vector. I'm not sure why this is happening,
as it appears the *flags->crt_flags | FLAGS statements should set these.  I'm
looking into why
