Hi,

	The problem was really with a misconfiguration of the
 GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable, that led to the failure for
 emacsw to talk to the agent. GNUPG has recently changed the gpg-agent
 behaviour not to write out the fil;e information, and perhaps the new
 GPG_TTY is also involved.

	In any case, this is not an emacs problem. Sorry for the
 noise.

	Manoj
