Decrypting with ECDH: no secret key

[Daniele Ricci]

Hi,
any news on this? I tried to analyze the log but it seems everything
is just fine... just a few "XXX byte(s) skipped" but I really don't know
if that should be a problem.
Please note that this test was done from the latest git version (at that date).


Many thanks
