Crypto or not?

[dyn!o]

Probably Djneo posted a strict PDL description than a real pseudo code logic (sorry, but the posted idea itsn't logic for me).

Personally I think the problem is not only in the last condition (while loop) but whole presented code. What about cpt3 and cpt4 values? They are actually doing nothing.

That's all from me in this thread since Startrek related problems are far too much for my poor brain .

cpt3 and cpt4 are pointers.
cpt4 has no problems, but cpt3 well because of the while loop.
What's the upper limit of cpt3 ?

cpt3 and cpt3 don't play any role because cpt2 won't reach 0 value. If you ask what is the limit of cpt3 then it doesn't have any. It should be set to 0 on each "while" condition execution but the code is a little bit strange and it goes into endless loop.
