The necessary work has been done now. Since I screwed up the first  
time however (I had accidentially reversed the byte order of the key/ 
IV bytes and therefore obtained an incorrect filter function), I'd  
rather verify it again before releasing it.

Yes. It's crap. It is _NOT_ the DECT standard cipher. The DSC is LFSR- 
based as can be seen from [1].

I think (I'm not sure though) I've briefly mentioned that Usenet  
posting in our talk @25C3, I'm sure I've mentioned it in the CRE102  
interview.

Cheers,
Ralf
