>Description:
Bad code generated for the loop marked "Set the p-boxes"

.L16:
	movl	bf_pbox(,%edx,4), %eax
	movl	-44(%ebp), %ebp             <-- !!!
	movl	%eax, (%ebp,%edx,4)
	incl	%edx
	decw	%di
	jns	.L16

All the other stuff is needed otherwise the bug does not occur. This is an extract from the blowfish cipher in the international kernel patch.
