Freeze?

When I try to save a modifed FORTRAN77 source file named prog.F, I get a
message in the minibuffer that says "write prog.F using freeze (y or n)?".
There are no visible non-ascii characters in the file buffer--just plain old
FORTRAN.

When I say, y, it replies "Encoding... Encoding failed" and the file is not
saved. When I say n, the file is saved as I'm used to.

If I rename the file to prog.f, the odd behavior doesn't happen.

What is happening and what does the freeze refer to?  I am using the
December sumo package release and xemacs version 21.4.19.

Thanks.

"Freeze" is some kind of compression or encryption package, and it
probably is getting triggered by the extension .F via the crypt++
package.

C-x customize-variable RET crypt-freeze-vs-fortran RET may give some
relief.  Be sure to rebuild the crypt tables afterward, and/or restart
XEmacs.
