Bug: PGP & GNUPG

I created a DH/DSS Diffie-Helman 4096 key in PGP, with
multiple sub-keys. First one is from 2001-7-7 to
2002-1-7, and the other from 2002-1-7 to 2002-7-7. I
import to GNUPG, and attempt to encrypt a message with
it. It responds with "gpg: key <xxxxx>: created in
future (time warp or clock problem)". Next line says
"gpg: error checking pk of <xxxxx>: timestamp conflict".

Further investigation concluded that any PGP Freeware (windows) DH/DSS
keys have timestamp problems encrypting messages through gnupg.

ver: gnupg 1.0.6 W32

Cheers
