bruce schneier wrote it and i'm rather amazed that
he wouldn't say something like this on his web page:
http://www.counterpane.com/blowfish.html
there was a bug in certain implementations (one of which
was the one in his book) and that is described here:

however there doesn't seem to be any info that implies that blowfish,
when properly implemented, is insecure.
