mpi larger than indicated length

[david.t.kerns at us.hsbc.com]

I'm doing some inter platform/product testing..

I was running GnuPG 1.4.1 and pks0.9.4 keyserver on Solaris 5.8
I sent my publickey to my counter part running PsypherOPS on the mainframe
He encrypted a file and sent it to me. When I tried to decrypt it I got the
following error message:

$ gpg -d IFO.SECURE.PGP
gpg: mpi too large (51692 bits)

gpg: Ohhhh jeeee: mpi crosses packet border
secmem usage: 0/0 bytes in 0/0 blocks of pool 0/32768
Abort

So I Googled the error message and found several articles about upgrading
to pks0.9.5 to rid the error
(I was a bit skeptical since I had sent him my public key and not used the
keyserver for the exchange)
but I figured I'd try it. I found pks0.9.6 on sourceforge and built and
installed it. While that was building
I Googled more and found an article that said GnuPG 1.4.2 had a better
error message for mpi problems
So I build and installed GnuPG1.4.2 (woot! I'm current, for the moment)

Now I'm getting the following error message:

$ gpg -d -vvv  IFO.SECURE.PGP
gpg: using character set `iso-8859-1'
gpg: armor: BEGIN PGP MESSAGE
gpg: armor header: Version: PsypherOPS 4.30.00 - www.primefactors.com
:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 16, keyid 9E1BA0486180F04C
        data: [2047 bits]
        data: [2045 bits]
gpg: public key is 6180F04C
gpg: using subkey 6180F04C instead of primary key CDCF6506
gpg: public key encrypted data: good DEK
:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 16, keyid D2DDC51A2F833978
        data: [1024 bits]
gpg: mpi larger than indicated length (0 bytes)
        data: [MPI_NULL]

Can anyone shed some light on this?
Do I need to regenerate my key and send my counter part the new public key?
Or have I run into a compatibility issue with PsypherOPS?

other data:
$ gpg --list-public-keys
