GPG 1.3.1: Can't import key

Last night I compiled GPG 1.3.1 on MacOS 10.2.2.
Works fine until now.

On verifying the signature on David's recent posting my Mail-Plugin got
stuck, so I tried to import his key 0x10F4B2AA on the commandline.

It seems to hang too.

No matter if I try "gpg --recv-key 0x10F4B2AA" or
"gpg --import" and paste the key from
<http://keyserver.kjsl.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=3Dget&search=3D0x10F4B2AA>
it doesn't finish (for a long time, maybe I quit too early).

If I type=20
    gpg --recv-key -vvv 0x10F4B2AA
the last line printed is (one line)
    gpg: pub  4096G/10F4B2AA 2002-05-23   David Pic=A2n =B5lvarez (High
        Security) <eleuteri@sdf.lonestar.org>

nothing happens for about 90 seconds, then it complets with
    gpg: key 10F4B2AA: "David Picon Alvarez <eleuteri@myrealbox.com>" not
        changed
    gpg: Total number processed: 1
    gpg:              unchanged: 1

Now typing=20
    gpg --edit-key 0x10F4B2AA
prints the three lines warning and then waits for 30 seconds before
displying the key-data.

The Mail-Plugin (EntouragGPG) still can't verify the signature. It blocks
until the timeout.

This is my ~/.gnupg/options file:
    no-greeting
    default-recipient-self
    escape-from-lines
    charset iso-8859-1
    utf8-strings
    lock-once
    keyserver keyserver.kjsl.com
    keyserver-options
        auto-key-retrieve,no-honor-http-proxy,
        no-include-revoked,no-include-disabled
    pgp6=20
    load-extension /usr/local/lib/gnupg/idea
    show-photos=20


I also tried
    gpg --recv-key --charset utf-8 -vvv 0x10F4B2AA
it produces a 90 second delay as well.

Problem with GPG 1.3.1, my prefs, the keyserver or is it Mac specific?

Greeting, Michi
