What the script does is to encode a small string with pgp_sym_encrypt()

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:
"Not text data"
That's not unexpected; the check for whether the data is text or not
appears to happen quite early in the process of decoding. So it's
enough to get to that point without anything being obviously broken.
I suspected something like that.
In addition to the two errors above, it doesn't appear to be too
difficult to see PXE_MBUF_SHORT_READ, which would give you ERROR:
Corrupt data. I wonder why that error message is different, though.
From reading the code as far I did, I expected to see that, but haven't
seen it yet.
"pgcrypto bug"
That doesn't look too good, but I can't reproduce it against 9.3.6 either.
Let me improve the script to a point where it can run for a long time in
the background and collect all different error cases as examples of
encrypted data and wrong password.
Thanks so far.
