Links to Flickr photos in Socialite redirect to unrelated photo

I've got Flickr as a service in Socialite (1.0.2). When a new photo from one of my contacts shows up in Socialite, and I click on the item, I am redirected to an unrelated photo. For example, my friend posted this photo yesterday:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kurti/4395803115/

The link in Socialite is:

http://flic.kr/p/9UNYB

which expands to:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/97833652@N00/100835819/

A review of the information provided by Flickr about how short URLs are generated reveals that Socialite is not encoding URLs correctly. The base 58 encoding, with Flickr's alphabet, of the photo ID (4395803115) for my friend's photo is 7GrD7T, not 9UNYB.

You might check Fraser Speirs' Objective-C implementation against your own.
