Subject: Re: Fix needed for communication with gpg-agent

But there are still some more subtle security problems left, which
IIRC were discussed in the original thread, too: If emacs caches the
passphrase there is no way to protect the passphrase from being
written to swap, when the system decides to swap out parts of emacs.
If we turn off caching of the passphrase in Emacs, does this problem
go away?
