Remembered I'd had this same issue back with 2009.0. The problem is the
xmms-infopipe plugin leaves a couple of files laying around in /tmp and
when they do if you have this in your sig script:

if [ -p /tmp/xmms-info ] ; then echo "Live - $( grep
Title: /tmp/xmms-info | awk -F': ' '{print $2}' )"

it causes strange things to happen. Deleted the xmms-info* files
from /tmp and all seems well again, except for the long wait when
sending pgp signed messages with attachments over 1mb.
