This is strange.  Seems to me like there is a timing problem in the code,
although I can not see it.  Can you provide us witha test program that shows
the problem on your machine?  Maybe I can also get more input by letting you
run a modified version of GPGME that prints out some debugging output if we
can not reproduce it here.

Yes, I think so.  We should document that :)
