Saw the same type error with 1.4.2. Turned out to be two keys that each had a zero length packet. Jason Harris wote patches for both his PKS server and his SKS keyserver. I used 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 to locate and delete the keys in question and all is fine with 1.4.2 now. (I do a lot of building and testing so I tend to have multiple versions on my system.) Write me directly for details. - -- John P.
