Emacs just deleted an encrypted file that it was trying to save. I've been storing my passwords in a symmetrically GPG-encrypted file, and editing them with emacs. I used crypt++ in emacs21, but with emacs23 the support is built in. It was working fine, until a couple of weeks ago. Presumably a Debian (Sid) upgrade--please tell me what version numbers are important and I'll respond. Opening an encrypted file works fine. Saving it, not so much. Emacs freezes, and in X the mouse cursor changes to a "please wait" cursor and stays that way. I had to externally terminate emacs (I used the window manager, I think). Worse: my encrypted file was deleted. All my passwords gone. Ok--I have a backup. But this could be a really devastating bug for someone. Sorry if this is a known issue. A cursory search didn't reveal anything, but I wanted to open a conversation about this potentially dire bug sooner rather than when I get around to poking through the bug db.
