I don't know the current state of Seahirs.  If it uses one of the
latest gpgme versions, gpgme might be the responsible for it.  The
problem has hopefully been fixed in the gpgme CVS.

Eventually there will be a new and far mor efficient database for
keys.  We partially implemented this already for gpgsm.
