Hi!

Recently (somewhere around the update from gnupg 1.2.x to 1.4.x) my keyring got corrupted:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gpg --export > /dev/null
gpg: buffer shorter than subpacket
gpg: signature packet without timestamp
gpg: buffer shorter than subpacket
gpg: signature packet without keyid
gpg: buffer shorter than subpacket
[...]

However, most of the keys are still OK, so I'd like to use the output of "gpg --export" to re-create the keyring.
The keyring is rather large (70MB) and after importing several thousand keys gpg uses more memory than is available as physical RAM, so it's continously swapping. After 2 days without significant progress I've aborted the import.
Is there a way to split up the keydump into chunks of some thousand keys, so I can process those one after another?

CU Sascha
