Hi!

As dictated by Murphy a problem was found right after the release.
Please apply the following patch to libgcrypt-1.1.94.

Hello,
does this bug makes the released libgcrypt unusable? If it does,
will there be any other release soon?

Depends on whether you use the generic gcry_realloc.

Hopefully the next release will be 1.2. I don't think it is justified
to have another release for that one-liner. IF other problems are
encounterred in the next few days, I'll do another pre-release of
course.
