Hi!  I'm looking over old libgcrypt bugs, and noticed this one..

This bug is about 4 years old.  Does anyone still see this problem?

I think we need more information to reproduce the problem, hence I'm
tagging this unreproducible.

If the problem has been resolved (which I believe, those secmem warnings
from libgcrypt were a problem a long time ago but I haven't seen them
recently), I think we can close the bug.  Given the age of this, I
suggest we close it within one month if there is no further activity.
