Hi,
this has been fixed in the meanwhile with the following two changes in
GPGME 0.4.6:
2004-03-23  Marcus Brinkmann  <marcus at g10code.de>
	* engine-gpgsm.c (gpgsm_new): Protect _only_ tty related code with
	isatty().  Submitted by Bernhard Herzog.

	* engine-gpgsm.c (gpgsm_new): Protect all tty related code with
	isatty().
Thanks,
Marcus
