Only if you use the same file descriptor for --status-fd as you do for
--logger-fd or use a filename reflecting the same file descriptor in
--log-file.  Note that --log-file defaults to stderr (2) but --status-fd
has no default.  Mozilla seems to allow only for the 3 standard file
descriptors and that is the main cause of the bug.

Another option for non-fixed gpg versions is to use --no-verbose.
