I'm getting "Can't allocate memory" if I use X to paste in the text of a
message, but it works just fine from a file.

Thus said darrell@cse.ucsc.edu (Darrell Long):

This one I can duplicate.

It looks like the problem is that RIPEM is stopping midway through
reading the message you're pasting in with X to prompt for the
passphrase (i.e. it reads the PEM headers, then fetches the passphrase,
then reads the ciphertext.)  This seems to confuse the state of the
reading of the rest of the input stream, though I can't tell exactly how.

The place it dies is:

#Before call to ReadMessage, Username=mvanheyn@whale.cs.indiana.edu
#Can't allocate memory.

Something of a strange way to fail.  It seems to happen whenever the
message is being pasted in from another source, not just from X.

This is a strange one.  I'll have to investigate.
Thanks for the report.
