Hi, not sure if I hit this bug because I'm doing stupid things or if there is really something wrong with gnupg. Maybe it has something to to with concurrency or my patched version of gnupg ...
I'm using the Gentoo Version of gnupg with the following options activated
resp. deactivated:
X nls smartcard -doc% -gpg2-experimental -ldap -openct% -pcsc-lite%
It seems as if Gentoo applies a "gnupg-1.9.20-fbsd.patch" to a gnupg
version "1.9.21" but I don't know where this version number is comming from.
gpg itself says:

Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB
I was working on a large number of files (about 300) which I exported from my
email client (the result of a key signing party some weeks ago):
...
msg_89.asc: PGP armored data message
msg_9.asc: PGP armored data message
msg_90.asc: PGP armored data message
msg_91.asc: PGP armored data message
...
msg_98.asc: PGP armored data message
msg_99.asc: PGP armored data message
It is possible that some of these files were broken or not decryptable using
my key. I can look into it, if it is important.
In this directory I was running the following command on the 300 files:
ls | xargs -L 1 gpg -d |gpg --import
I expected 'ls' to pass all file names to 'xargs -L 1' and while 'xarg' passes
one by one to 'gpg -d' to decrypt them. The result were many decrypted
signatures for two of my gpg keys which I tried to import using
'|gpg --import'.
This worked for a while but suddenly gpg terminated by signal 6 ...

If you have further questions about this case just tell me what I should try
or do. I'll save a backup copy of my yesterday keyring which should be able
to reproduce this bug.
Cheers,
Chris
