tinc 1.1pre10 "failed to decrypt record" on Windows client

[Tim Eggleston]

Tinc newbie here so apologies if this is obvious or has been discussed 
already; I did search but couldn't find anything.

I'm testing tinc 1.1pre10 between a Windows 7 client and Linux server. 
The Linux machine is on the internet and the Windows machine is on my 
home network behind NAT. I have successfully configured a Linux client 
on my home network to communicate with the server already so I know the 
issue isn't the server or my network/NAT config.

When attempting to connect to the server, the Windows client throws a 
"failed to decrypt record" error (output from tincd -D below). Something 
instinctive is saying this is a key material problem -- originally I 
copied and pasted the keys from notepad into my SSH session to transfer 
them between machines, and I wondered if a non-printable character or a 
Windows linebreak had snuck in and messed things up. However I've now 
copied them directly between hosts using pscp.exe so I don't think it 
can be that. I'm using both RSA and ECDSA keys, and I believe it 
defaults to ECDSA usage in this version?

Any ideas appreciated! I can provide configs if necessary but this 
didn't seem like a config problem, per se.

Cheers,
