Section 7.1.2 says:
C ciphertext to be decrypted, an octet string of length k,
where k = 2hLen + 2
It should say:
C ciphertext to be decrypted, an octet string of length k,
where k >= 2hLen + 2
Notes:
In the "Input:" section, near the top of the page, the condition
specified for 'k' is too restrictive. {This becomes clear from
the context - see e.g. 'step 1. c.' in mid-page 22.}
