Thanks for the suggestion, a new patch has been sent.

I printed the walk->nbytes of each iteration of the walker, it is not
always multiples of chunksize except at the end when the algorithm test
manager is turned on.

For example, during a GCM encryption process, I get data like this:

     total = 4014, nbytes = 2078, tail = 14
     total = 1950, nbytes = 16, tail = 0
     total = 1934, nbytes = 311, tail = 7
     total = 1630, nbytes = 16, tail = 0
     total = 1614, nbytes = 16, tail = 0
     total = 1598, nbytes = 1598, tail = 14

Is my understanding wrong?
