Subject: epa problem has returned

The epa problem is not gone.  It was never gone.

I tested for it with a few messages, and they worked -- but they
were all short.  Now it appears that sufficiently short messages work
but longer ones cause the problem.

I tried the idea of loading the latest versions
of the preloaded Lisp files into the old dumped Emacs.
I loaded all except loaddefs.el, macroexp.el, leim-list.el
and the language/* files.

The problem does NOT occur when I do that.

So it appears the problem is in the C code.
