We had something similar going on at Zeroknowlege Systems for the PKI
of the Freedom servers.  But the password that protected the private key
was in split knowledge, and the observer wrote down what he observed
in a log journal...

You also want to make sure that the computer you are doing this on is 
not connected to another machine or network.
