The code is the same in both 0.9.6- and 0.9.7-beta4.  in 0.9.7-b4
there is an assertion added that is being triggered because the buf
size is considered too small.  However, tracing through the calls
shows that even with a 160bit input only the first byte is ever
touched.

That does not mean other bytes could not be touched in the future
though.
