--- Comment #22 from Nidal R <[email protected]> ---
"There are two kinds of cryptography in this world: cryptography that will stop
your kid sister from reading your files, and cryptography that will stop major
governments from reading your files."

This bug although applicable in case 2 also (for which you can workaround by
encrypting your file system), has more to do with case 1. 
eg:- Your system crashes (say power failure). Someone else (say your spouse) 
uses your computer when the power comes back; opens LibreOffice, gets prompt to
recover files. opens document you didn't want them to see (say divorce filing
you have been drafting). This bug is very nasty for that reason - Its
well-hidden, and manifests itself in a very bad way.

This bug is a regresssion since version 3.4.1. My question is -has the
architecture changed so much that it is hard for a developer to issue a fix?
Asking someone else who is not an expert coder, to issue a fix is unrealistic.
I imagine it would take at least a month of effort, for a normal developer,
just to familiarize himself with the architecture of a large s/w system like
LibreOffice.
