WinPT, GnuPG

I wonder if anyone using the above programs has experienced a problem
that I have not been able to get to the bottom of.  If I try to encrypt
a file of about 370Mb I can watch as my available disk space on my main
system drive drops dramatically.  I had about 1Gb and it drops rapidly
until there is no space left - so there must be a temp file being
created somewhere?  Well when the space runs out GnuPG does not throw an
error - it just stops encrypting and I now only have 388Mb free on the
drive.  I've Scandisk the drive - no errors.  I've searched for files
greater than 50Mb - nothing suspicious is thrown up. I just have
considerably less disk space than I did.

Could this be something to do with a bloated swap file? Or does anyone
have any advice?  How do I delete the swap file to see if that improves
things?

Win98SE, PIII 450MHz, 384Mb RAM, 1 Gb free disk space on C:, >40Mb free
elsewhere

TIA,
RT
