Thanks for the report.

Well, at EOF it should set pending to 0, this is a good suggestion.
However, if you just look for a certain key you don't even want
to bother to read the remaining keys, and I think that we could provide a
new function to abort/cancel any pending request.  This would be generic
(you could also use it to cancel a started sign operation etc).

gpgme_cancel is unfortunately taken for some other purpose.
I am thinking about gpgme_op_cancel (confusing?) or gpgme_op_abort
or gpgme_abort.  Comments welcome.

I don't see how thi could be solved any other way.

Thanks,
