I've used Lucid since March with an encrypted $HOME and no problems
until today.  Last night, Transmission couldn't start a download because
there was not enough disk space.  I freed space and tried to restart the
torrent, but Transmission froze and became "defunct".  I didn't know how
to kill that process ('kill -9' didn't work) so I rebooted and
Transmission ran fine.  This morning I began having problems with this
bug.

I had ~1600 zero-length files in my home directory (and I deleted those
related to the Transmission lockup), but only one in $HOME/.Private/
--- I deleted that one, too, but that didn't stop the eCrypt error
logging.

After a little more experimenting, I found that it only occurs when
Skype is running.  I've deleted all the ~/.Skype/ zero-length files
(locks), but every restart of Skype brings back the errors.  Now I'm
suspicious about the Transmission "cause", but I'm sure I didn't have
the problem on Friday, since I check dmesg regularly while as part of my
work.

Let me know if more information is needed.  This is annoying enough to
reinstall my $HOME unencrypted if not resolved relatively soon.

Thanks,
Doug
