1.4.4 unable to reopen standard input error

[Kyle Wheeler]

Hello,

I recently upgraded gnupg from 1.4.2 to 1.4.4, and suddenly I am 
running into a nasty problem.

I use mutt on MacOS X (10.4.7) for all my email needs, and one of the 
things I can do (well, used to be able to do) is decode and reply to 
“traditional” pgp-encoded email (a-la what is generated by pine users 
who send encrypted email). After upgrading gnupg, I can no longer 
reply to emails that have been encrypted in the “traditional” 
(translation: inline ascii) manner. I can decrypt them just fine, but 
whatever re-decryption mutt does when replying merely produces:

    gpg: fatal: unable to reopen standard input, output, or error

The command that mutt runs to decode such email is this:

    gpg --status-fd=2 --no-verbose --quiet --batch --output - %f

Where "%f" is replaced by the name of the file to decrypt (mutt saves 
the encrypted message to a file and then runs gpg on it).

I understand there was a patch that went into gnupg 1.4.4 
(http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2006-May/022915.html 
patch-stdout.reopen.patch) that may have something to do with this. Is 
there anything I can do to fix this? I'm tempted to track down that 
patch and reverse it on my 1.4.4 source, to see if that doesn't fix 
it.

Interestingly, other people on the mutt mailing lists who also use 
gnupg 1.4.4 (but do so on Linux) do not have the problem.
