Contest To Crack William Gibson Poem Agrippa

Contest To Crack William Gibson Poem Agrippa:
from Slashdot
An anonymous reader writes "A new cracking contest to cryptanalyse a William Gibson poem. The electronic poem ('Agrippa') was written back in 1992 and self-encrypts after being displayed once. The person who successfully cracks the encryption will win a copy of every published Gibson book."

The poem/program binary was recovered in 2008, but it looks like no one has managed (bothered?) to crack the code.
