Suspicious about sign_ecdsa

Very minor thing.
While I read the function (sign_ecdsa of ecc.c), I think that the
error code of following part is not appropriate.
if (_gcry_mpi_ec_get_affine (x, NULL, &I, ctx))
{
if (DBG_CIPHER)
log_debug ("ecc sign: Failed to get affine coordinates\n");
err = GPG_ERR_BAD_SIGNATURE;
goto leave;
}
This error occurs only if we have coding error or the curve is
invalid (... or hardware error).
GPG_ERR_INTERNAL would be appropriate.
