(while (and (eq (process-status (epg-context-process context)) 'run)
epg-pending-status-list)
(accept-process-output (epg-context-process context) 1))
This means that either (1) epg does not exit when it should, or
(2) epg-pending-status-list doesn't become nil, which AFAIU means
that no output is ever received from epg, or (3) accept-process-output
gets stuck, even though it is called with a 1-sec time-out.
I think accept-process-output fails to return.
I put a call to `message' in that loop, and it did output just 3
times, for previous operations I think. The call did not run during
the time it was hanging.
