bus error under IRIX 6.5

[Jim Van Zandt]

I get a bus error trying to decrypt:
  kosh:~/t$ gpg --verbose <edate
  gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.0.0 (GNU/Linux)
  gpg: armor header: Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org
  gpg: public key is 2481455C
  
  You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
  user: "James R. Van Zandt <jrv@mitre.org>"
  1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 2481455C, created 2000-08-16 (main key ID 061E8FC3)
  
  Bus error         
  kosh:~/t$ 

I also get a bus error generating a new key:
  ...
  You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.    
  
  We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
  some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
  disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
  generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

This is bug #6 shown at http://www.gnupg.org/buglist.html:

  [ **] #6 1999-02-22  0.9.3
      Bus error on IRIX 6.4: Crash while doing a keygen. I think while creating
      the prime.  Other bus errors are reported when doing a "gpg README"
      on sparc-solaris2.6.
      --> Solaris fixed.
      --> IRIX bug still there but someone should test this again!
  	  ( reports that it is still alive in 1.0.0)
  	  (seems to be fixed now. wk 2000-01-14)

Apparently it is not fixed after all.
