This problem only occures on WNT/W2K machines, with W9X it works.
We used the newer Winsock library (V2) but it doesn't seem that this
solved the problem. But we're working on a solution for NT based
operating systems.

WinPT does *not* call GPG for keyserver requests. It has its own code 
for talking to HKP keyservers. That is why it also works on WNT/W2K.
