          If the initial decrypt fails then the rest of the line shouldn't
          continue, as it won't be a properly decrypted password being
          re-encrypted and written over the existing passfile.
      
          One solution to this would be to enable pipefail (set -o pipefail) -
          either just before, or at the start of this script.  This would
          cause the failure of any of the commands in a pipe to set the return
          status of the whole pipeline to non-zero (the last failed command's
          return code is used).
      
      We take his suggestion with this patch. While we're at it, we take a
      little bit extra care (though not too much extra care) to select a more
      random intermediate password, in case folks have a strange habit of
      using a dot-new extension on files.
