FWIW, changes in the repo since 1.8.1 are:

59df8d6 * sexp: Avoid a fatal error in case of ENOMEM in called functions.
f4582f8 * api: Add auto expand secmem feature
334e1a1 * tests: Add HAVE_MMAP check for MinGW.
da127f7 * Fix secmem test for machine with larger page.

The first one actually fixes a side-effect of the "out of secure memory"
state.  I can do a Libcgrypt 1.8.2 at any time.  Just let me know.

Backporting the required change for GnuPG to any 2.1 version will be
trivial.

Shalom-Salam,
