Peter:
I have a pseudo-random number generator that I am working on for a
different project. I put a 0x484848...484848 seed into it and generated
the IVs. Since no one has ever looked at that design I will get some new
ones from a better source.
We have hardware device that includes a random number generator. I will
ask that device for some random numbers.

Could you provide a source for the values used for the IV's in the text?
Cryptographers get somewhat nervous about seeing magic numbers by themselves
in specs.
