bug#17337: epg-wait-for-status hangs forever

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

Yesterday I updated from the trunk and rebuilt.
epa-mail-encrypt and rmail-epa-decrypt now do not terminate.
I got the backtrace below from typing C-g at the latter.

I verified that the call to epg-wait-for-status never returns.
It displays `Decrypting...done', but seems to keep waiting.

I went back to the old Emacs executable from March 19, made from the
trunk fetched on March 18, and aliased function-put to put.  It worked
ok: with the same compiled Lisp files, the hang does not happen.
