gpg-agent doesn't remember passphrase

Greetings.

I recently upgraded my operating system (SuSE 9.0->9.3) and now gpg-agent
doesn't remember my passphrase anymore.

I have verified that gpg-agent is indeed running and the environment
variable is set.  When I run gpg --sign, the appropriate pinentry program
pops up and asks for the password.  But the password is never remembered,
regardless of what value for default-cache-ttl I use.  Here's a sample log
file:

2005-08-13 22:25:44 gpg-agent[6343] listening on socket
`/tmp/gpg-narspi/S.gpg-agent'
2005-08-13 22:26:03 gpg-agent[6344] handler for fd 0 started
2005-08-13 22:26:03 gpg-agent[6344] starting a new PIN Entry
2005-08-13 22:26:09 gpg-agent[6344] handler for fd 0 terminated
2005-08-13 22:26:15 gpg-agent[6344] handler for fd 0 started
2005-08-13 22:26:15 gpg-agent[6344] starting a new PIN Entry
2005-08-13 22:26:20 gpg-agent[6344] handler for fd 0 terminated
2005-08-13 22:26:20 gpg-agent[6344] handler for fd 0 started
2005-08-13 22:26:20 gpg-agent[6344] handler for fd 1 started
2005-08-13 22:26:20 gpg-agent[6344] handler for fd 0 terminated

I'm using the following programs, all from SuSE 9.3 RPMs:

gpg-1.4.0-4
gpgme-1.0.2-3
pinentry-0.7.1-4
libksba-0.9.10-3

Anyone know what could be wrong?

Regards,
Tristan
