I do indeed get 201. Out of interest, how is that calculated?

I also changed the digest algorithm to SHA512; the iter+salt line shows this, but still mentions SHA1 protection.

Am I right in thinking that this means SHA1 is always used as a kind of checksum for the passphrase (only that and a simple checksum being specified by RFC4880), but the passphrase itself is stored as a SHA512 digest after 6553600 iterations of the hash function?
