If Emacs crashes and dumps core, Lisp strings in memory are also

-strings by `(fillarray string 0)'. However, Emacs performs compaction
-in gc_sweep phase. If GC happens before `fillarray', passphrase
-strings may be moved elsewhere in memory. Therefore, passphrase
-caching in elisp is generally a bad idea.

-The EasyPG Library dares to disable passphrase caching. Fortunately,
-there is more secure way to cache passphrases - use gpg-agent. Elisp
-programs can set `epg-context-passphrase-callback' to cache user's
-passphrases, it is not recommended though.
