Re: Problems with passwd-erase-buffer

I may implement this at some point if noone else expresses interest. Until then, I may
implement the buffer-size-list thing, or just disable
the call to passwd-erase-buffer in efs, since it apparently doesn't actually help.
I don't understand why the while loop takes very long, though.
Unless
something very strange is going on, it seems rather unlikely that more
than one buffer resize should occur, meaning that
(insert ?\000)
(setq s (1- s))
should be very fast and constant time, as insertions are optimized to
take place at point.

Are you using Mule?
No.
I don't see any reason why \000 should be special, but have you
tried
with something else?
Yes. I tried newlines and alternating \000's and newlines, and it didn't seem to
help.
