    // It's amazingly difficult to safely do conversions with __m128i.
    // If we use the operator() implementation below with a CBRNG
    // whose ctr_type is r123array1xm128i, gcc4.6 optimizes away the
    // memcpys, inlines the operator()(c,k), and produces assembly
    // language that ends with an aesenclast instruction with a
    // destination operand pointing to an unaligned memory address ...
    // Segfault!  See:  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50444
    // MSVC also produces code that crashes.  We suspect a
    // similar mechanism but haven't done the debugging necessary to
    // be sure.  We were able to 'fix' gcc4.6 by making bc a mutable
    // data member rather than declaring it in the scope of
    // operator().  That didn't fix the MSVC problems, though.
    //
    // Conclusion - don't touch __m128i, at least for now.  The
    // easiest (but highly imprecise) way to do that is the static
    // assertion above that rejects bctype::value_types of size 16. -
