Phil, could you please (setq debug-on-error t) and get a lisp stack
backtrace?

O.K. I've taken a look at the code. I believe the problem is that
the FSF-timer.el in mailcrypt shouldn't be installed. It is expecting
to be able to run a program called `timer' in the background.
The new mailcrypt appears to be coded as correctly as the old mailcrypt
wrt timers. The code first looks for itimer, and if it doesn't find
it, falls back to timer. I know that code works in both emacsen and
it doesn't appear to have changed.
