0.9.0 expiration date: does not work

[Walter Koch]

Moin,

yesterday I created a DSA-Key with an expirationdate of today,
although I can still use it now (after expiration) for signing.

Shouldn't there at least a warning, when trying to use a expired key?

lot of errors with 0.9.0, maybe i did something general wrong (i486,
2.0.36, glibc2, using a diff)?


Gruss,
