Hi,

Thanks for all the activity on this bug. I have a couple of comments

i) finding this bug (and, well, some of the associated code quality issues with bcrypt) has persuaded me that I don't want to use bcrypt for any data I care about. ii) "gpg -c --cipher-algo aes" is almost certainly a better solution to the problem of wanting to reliable encrypt data with passphrase protection iii) since I'm an arrogant so and so, I think I'd go further and suggest that we should discourage new users from using bcrypt; instead we should try and fix it enough that people who already have files encrypted using it can continue to decrypt them in the future. Maybe even put a note to this effect in the package description?

Regards,

Matthew
