Thanks for the warning and sorry for the earlier lack of action on this.

The failure can be triggered with this:

 % perl -MCrypt::GCrypt -e '$c=Crypt::GCrypt->new(type=>"cipher",algorithm=>"aes");$c->start("encrypting"); $c->encrypt("a").$c->finish'

which gets a SIGSEGV in libgcrypt. Backtrace below.

Adding a $c->setkey('whatever') before calling encrypt() makes it go
away. The test isn't trying to do anything meaningful at that point,
it's just checking that it gets a warning when not calling $c->finish()
or something like that. Later tests of actual encrypting pass.

Is this something to be fixed on the libgcrypt side?

I guess I can come up with a C test case if needed, but maybe you
can cook up one easier? The perl side setkey() just seems to wrap
gcry_cipher_setkey().
