Section 3.2.2 says:

      do {
        base = H(max(Alice,Bob) | min(Alice,Bob) | password | counter)
        temp = KDF-n(seed, "Dragonfly Hunting And Pecking")
        seed = (temp mod (p - 1)) + 1

It should say:

      do {
        base = H(max(Alice,Bob) | min(Alice,Bob) | password | counter)
        temp = KDF-n(base, "Dragonfly Hunting And Pecking")
        seed = (temp mod (p - 1)) + 1

Notes:

A variable "seed" is passed to the function KDF-n before defined. It should be the variable "base" instead of "seed". The variable "base" is passed to KDF-n in Figure 1.

Section 3.4 says:

The Commit Exchange consists of an exchange of data that is the
   output of the random function, H(), the key confirmation key, and the
   two scalars and two elements exchanged in the Commit Exchange.

It should say:

The Confirm Exchange consists of an exchange of data that is the
   output of the random function, H(), the key confirmation key, and the
   two scalars and two elements exchanged in the Commit Exchange.

Notes:

The sentence is explaining what will be exchanged in the Confirm Exchange but incorrectly calls it the Commit Exchange (seems like an editorial oversight)
