Take any message of length, say, 45.  Init the key and counter, and
encrypt.

Then start again with the same message, key, and counter.  Encrypt the
first x bytes, and then the remaining 45-x (both in place).  You should
get the same answer.

If you do this with x = 0,1,7,8,9,15,16,17,22, that should be a good set
of test cases, I think.
