NODE c496ef04CFB description in Schneier
In the illustration on pg 161 of Schneier's Applied Cryptography
(figure 8.5), the regeneration of bytes to XOR with the cyphertext
stream is shown as using decryption.  Doesn't this require ENcryption
in order to produce the same sequence of XOR bytes that was used in
encypherment?

The first text paragraph on p.161 has the correct description.  The
picture seems to be in error.
