GnuPG and PGP 5.0 compatibility problem

Also, be careful when you say "standard OpenPGP algorithms".  You're  
citing RFC2440bis22 here, which is a draft revision of RFC2440.  It's  
still a work in progress, so citing it as a canonical reference is  
probably unwise.

The canonical RFC2440 (dating from November 1998) only has symmetric  
cipher entries from 0-9 and hash algorithms up to 7.
