Sorry, no, it isn't. When you report this problem to the bug tracker,
please make sure the description answers the following questions:
. what do you mean by "binary buffer" (or "text buffer")?
. I didn't say that gpg's output is the problem, I asked whether
it's human-readable text or byte stream in this case. I
understand it's text (the gpg version number), in which case I
don't understand why the code sets coding-system-for-read to
'binary' -- it sounds like a mistake. Can you show the place
where this is done?
. you are assuming that using nil for coding-system-for-read is
correct, but I don't think it is, so if you can show where that is
done, it might be the beginning of the solution.
Thanks.
