Research direction

Reproduce the failure with an EFS-encrypted %USERPROFILE%.ssh\id_rsa using both sshfs.k and sshfs.kr, then trace how the C code opens and passes the private key. Done means encrypted keys no longer produce code 5 Access Denied for either command, with a regression test covering the case.
