    But there are still some more subtle security problems left, which
    IIRC were discussed in the original thread, too:  If emacs caches the
    passphrase there is no way to protect the passphrase from being
    written to swap, when the system decides to swap out parts of emacs.

If we turn off caching of the passphrase in Emacs, does this problem
go away?
