Newbie Q: decryption

[Joseph Oreste Bruni]

Oh yeah, third thing:

The "insecure memory" warning just means that the executable probably  
needs to be setuid-root in order to allocate wired memory. You can  
ignore this and still use the product. It just means that gpg tried  
to allocate memory that cannot be swapped to disk and failed due to  
permissions. Some OS's allow non-root users to allocate a limited  
amount of wired memory (BSD, OS X) whereas HP-UX does not.
