    Hi,
    
    there is a problem with cipher.exe.
    overflow occurs when you add string of more than 256 chars.
    example:
    c:\> cipher.exe  <A * 257>
    
    program will crash.
    
    anyway Microsoft response was:
    "Thank you for your feedback. We are definitely commited to fixing this 
    issue in Cipher.exe.
    We've had several people look into this issue, and the biggest impact we've 
    found that it has is a crash of the file which results in a local denial of 
    service in the file itself."
    
    
    Regards,
