Forgot to mention: if you have lost data as a result of this bug, but you
still have access to *more than* the threshold number of shares of the secret,
then you can recover by combining the threshold number of parts without
including foo.000.

(For instance, if you have a 3-of-5 share with secring.gpg.000, .001
on a USB stick and .100, .101, .102 on three different machines, recover
secring.gpg by combining parts .001, .100 and .101.)
