Talking on the alt.security.pgp newsgroup and we think we found some
sort of bug. It appears that if you try to use gnupg to find keys
with utf-8 (cyrillic characters) encoding in the user id, it is
unable to find them. If I search for Vladimir Novak (in the comment
field) to find my key, it works, but if I look for Владимик Новак
(the user id), it does not find it. Not only is it not found, but it
finds some other keys that are completely unrelated without that
string in them. This also happened with another Cyrillic key I know
of. Anyone know anything about this?
