I have encountered a small instability in the behavior of pgcrypto's
pgp_sym_decrypt() function. Attached is a script that can reproduce the
problem. It may have to be run repeatedly because the symptom occurs
rather seldom.
What the script does is to encode a small string with pgp_sym_encrypt()
and then repeatedly try to decrypt it with different "wrong" passwords.
The expected error message for that is of course
"Wrong key or corrupt data".
Every now and then, I get a different error message. Things I've seen are:
Have you tested this with this week's releases? We fixed some
memory-mishandling bugs in pgcrypto ...
The posted script reproduces the symptom in today's checkout of master
as well as REL9_4_STABLE.
