Hello,


As you are the developer for this port, I thaught you could help…

I am still having this problem with pinentry-curses 0.7.3 :

> pinentry in free(): error: chunk is already free
> gpg-agent[24082]: command get_passphrase failed: End of file
> gpg: problem with the agent: IPC write error
> gpg: Invalid passphrase; please try again ...

Works perfectly on my OS X machine but not on FreeBSD…
My passphrase has not changed !


Any clue ?

Try turning off the malloc option that makes all warnings fatal (see the
malloc.conf manpage).

This is a bug in pinentry-curses, but without malloc configured for
debugging, the double free should only result in a non-fatal warning
instead of a fatal error. As a bonus, you will get an all around system
performance boost.

Cheers,

By the way, patches from the community that get rid of this error are
highly appreciated. I simply do not have the time at the moment to look
for a fix myself.
