Hi,

thanks for the report.  It would help me a lot if you could send me an
isolated test case, that means a small C program and a data set that, for
which you can see the bug.  Then I can very quickly see if I can reproduce it
and if yes, I should be able to figure out the problem quickly.

Also, independent of that, sending a GPGME_DEBUG=9 output file that shows the
bug could be helpful.

Thanks,
Marcus
