gpg strips '0x' on key searches...

[Mark Atkinson]

For example, in v1.4.5 that I'm using:

gpg --keyserver hkp://pgpkeys.mit.edu --search-keys 0xCA6CDFB2

is translated to:

http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=index&options=mr&search=CA6CDFB2&exact=on

and fails.

where 

http://pgpkeys.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=index&options=mr&search=0xCA6CDFB2&exact=on

would work.   Is this the fault of gpg, or the key server?
