You should return to the caller as soon as you find a problem, not keep
fooling around with the datum like a cat with a mouse. I think this is your
first real problem, but I didn't test it.
I note you have some of the most time consuming and attention clouding
comments that I have seen in a long time. If you tock all your comments
out, I would like your program better.
If you take out the call to this function, one gets what looks like it might
be enciphered output.:)
