GNUPG 0.3.2 encryption bug

[bofh at coker.com.au]

I create a file with "dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1k count=2000" (nice empty
test file).
I encrypt it using password "abcd" using the command "gpg -z0 -c test".

I then try and decrypt it using the command "gpg -d test.gpg > t" and get the
following output:

Here's the output of "ls -al" on the directory:

This is a test case of a bug that caused me problems when trying to compress
some large bzip2 archives (I don't want compression as the files are
already compressed and it won't gain me anything).

Copies of all the files in that directory are available on demand (including
the core file).  The gpg program comes from version 0.3.2-1 Debian package.

PS  I get hit by a slightly different bug when I try to use compression, but
it's harder for me to devise a test case for it.
