The previous discussion advanced the theory that they fucked up the string handling. Eg in Python, output = key[0] would result in one-byte keys like "4" if you expect "key" to be an array, but it's actually a string.
There were also several two and three digit keys.
AfAIK all the keys were exactly one byte (2^8) in length, only the decimal representation was multi-digit.
Could still have been the same issue.
Code assumed an array of strings, instead got an array of bytes and picked the first one.
