Comment (by asn):

 Hm, thanks for catching this.

 PyCrypto increments the counter by one for each use, right? If yes, I
 don't see a big problem with switching `allow_wraparound` to `True`.

 OTOH, maybe for other protocols, where the IV is not derived from the
 protocol, the current behavior of bailing on wraparound is more sane.
