Hi all .

I found a problem in aesni_cleanup() on rijndael.c .
This macro uses MMX instruction, but doesn't call EMMS .

Therefore, all x87 FPU data registers remains used,
and after calling gcry_cipher_encrypt(),
programs cannot use float data .
So, gnome-keyring, Chromium and Chrome crash on some PCs .

I want you to correct it .

I wrote a patch .
And I wrote a reappearance program .

If you want them, please see

Thanks .
