Sorry, no such luck.  

$ gpg -c --cipher-algo cast5 --compress-algo 1 --no-comment secrets.txt

Creates a file that gpg can decrypt, but PGP 5.5 has problems with it.

PGP decrypts 6416k out of 6424k, then complains with "PGP Warning",
"The keyring contains a bad (corrupted) PGP packet".  The resulting
file is missing information from the front.

$ diff secrets.txt secrets.txt.orig 
1c1,4

Short of jumping in with a debugger, what can I do to help track this
down?

Thanks,
Dave
