To "make sure" it is sufficient to clean the smaller portion of
saved_key only, you could want to fill the rest of it with some
non-zero value, like:
memset(saved_key, 0x55, sizeof(saved_key));
memset(saved_key, 0, 64*MMX_COEF);
(use both of these at once). Then make sure JtR still works fine
(albeit slowly).
Thanks,
Alexander
