I've been using Gnus in the X11 Emacs build on Mac OS X for several weeks now and have not experienced any epa-file GPG errors. They only happen with the Emacs.app Cocoa build from Emacs CVS. You can reproduce them easily: 1) install GPG in your path 2) load epa-file.el 3) C-x C-f /tmp/secret.gpg 4) C-x C-s (to save it); use symmetric encryption 5) kill the buffer 6) C-x C-f /tmp/secret.gpg; enter your passphrase again Step (6) works fairly randomly, maybe 3-4 out of 10 times and usually interleaving success with failure. There's no obvious cause for the error. The X11 build has not crashed for me all this time, so I'm not eager to use Emacs.app on Mac OS X and lose work randomly. How can I help catch these crashes so we can log and understand them? Do we need other Cocoa developers (which I am not)?
