I am almost ready to make this bug RC.

GPG has failed me on numerous occasions in the past week. Usually,
I'd find ~/.gnupg/pubring.pgp.tmp next to a zero-sized
~/.gnupg/pubring.pgp, and the damage would be easily solved. Today
it started to truncate the file:

-rw------- 1 madduck madduck   3725 2006-08-11 14:53 pubring.gpg
-rw------- 1 madduck madduck      0 2006-08-11 14:53 pubring.gpg~

I also have backups, and it's arguable whether the pubring is data
that needs to be guarded (I'd say YES), but this is clearly not
acceptable.

I was only using mutt regularly. I think I may have hit ctrl-c while
mutt was taking ages as it downloaded the pubkey for a list post.

Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list!
