Hey hackers, I noticed this very interesting behavior in my version of gpg (2.0.17):
1. take a simple text file and call it say test.txt, encrypt it to a file named test.txt in the same directory so that it overwrites it. (gpg -o test.txt -e test.txt) 2. decrypt file test.txt with gpg (gpg -d test.txt) and get gibberish. It does not seem to happen when I have the output renamed to something else. I know this is a highly unusual (and probably ineffective way) of using gpg but I still thought it was interesting that it would fail. Any thoughts on this (potential) bug? Can anyone else recreate it, or is it actually a feature/unavoidable side-effect? Regards, -- Joseph Ziff <jziff [AT] sindegra [D0T] com>, <jziff [AT] haverford [D0T] edu>.
