I just realized that the answer here is guaranteed to be no, since any attempt to use tarsnap on such systems is guaranteed to fail immediately due to said padding bug. (The precise error is "Unexpected EOF of key data" / "Key cache initialization failed".) Fortunately for me, this means I can fix this bug without worrying about running into backwards compatibility issues with key files generated on bug-present systems, since it's impossible to generate a key file on such a system. ;-) -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
