Hmm. Actually, yes. I didn't notice that until now, but they are up to
4 concurrent processes.

You are running several concurrent gpg processes?

As far as I know, even for symmetric encryption gnupg uses a session key
package, which is than encrypted via s2k-algorithms (your p
Hello!
I'm using gpg to symetrically encrypt a lot of files. Unfortunately,
gpg regularly complains about an empty random seed while processing.
Now I wonder why gpg needs random data for symetric encryption. Should
