i don't know but note: 1.0.3 has a nasty bug that can cause
signatures to be verified that shouldn't (if there are multiple
signatures). use 1.0.4 instead.

it means that's your machine doesn't have the mlock() system call
or that the gpg compile was configured to believe that you don't
have it. i.e. HAVE_MLOCK wasn't defined. you can't turn this message
off without recompiling gpg to use mlock() (if you do have it).
