    That looks to me like your encryption routine is expecting a terminal; that
    reminds me of how some scripted ssh sessions broke maybe 6 months ago (debian).
    Check that your keys work.  Check the way you call the encryptor.
    
I'll double check, but nothing changed here before this happened..... 
That's the puzzle....

    Maybe "7.1, with all packages updated (today as a matter of fact)."  :-)
    
    
I upgraded today to see if there was a glitch that the updated packages
from RH would fix, but the problem started before this.....
