Can everyone who is experiencing this bug place a message with their CPU
type? I am running an old AMD Duron (over-clocked to 1.9GHz), 32 bit
only processor.

I have the feeling that the processor may be the problem. I have just
tried the encrypted Private dir using Intrepid inside a virtual machine
(virtual box 2.4). I get the same problem.  It is always reproducible.

However, if I copy the virtual machine disk to another computer (a
laptop) with an Intel processor (core 2 duo), the problem vanishes. Note
that the main difference between the two copies of the virtual machine
is the processor (as virtualbox delegates the instructions to the real
processor).

Can the processor be the reason? Maybe encfs is using some optimized
operations to speedup the cryptography?

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I set up ecryptfs following the instructions in the community documentation:

$ sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils
$ ecryptfs-setup-private

Logged out and logged back in.  I see the "Private" drive icon on the desktop.

If I copy single files into the Private drive in Nautilus, it seems to work.  However, if I select a directory tree to copy in Nautilus by hilighting a directory, pressing control-C and then clicking on Private and pressing control-V to paste, I get an error message for every file in the directory tree that I was trying to copy:

Error while copying "guide.pdf".

There was an error copying the file into /home/me/Private/foo/benefits.

Show more details:
Error opening file '/home/me/Private/foo/benefits/guide.pdf': Cannot allocate memory
