The original handling of rrc != 0 is not correct. We did rotate the 
bytes but have not reset the RRC field in the GSS message header before 
calculating the checksum. According to RFC 4121 [1]:

4.2.4.  Encryption and Checksum Operations

....

    In Wrap tokens that do not provide for confidentiality, the checksum
    SHALL be calculated first over the to-be-signed plaintext data, and
    then over the first 16 octets of the Wrap token (the "header", as
    defined in section 4.2.6).  Both the EC field and the RRC field in
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    the token header SHALL be filled with zeroes for the purpose of
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    calculating the checksum...
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In the test, the Context.transmit() method is split into 4 basic methods 
so that we have a chance to call wrap without confidentiality.

Thanks
