I should have added that I always use Emacs on a tty.
When gpg tries to read the password on a tty under Emacs,
it does not work: both programs try to read at once
and it is unpredictable which one gets each character.
With gpg 1, something in Emacs recognizes that it wants a password,
reads the password in Emacs, then passes it to gpg. That method works.
But it doesn't seem to activate when using gpg 2.
Has anyone seen this problem?
