BUG: GnuPG Key import fails to parse TLD email address

[Sean Hastings]

Anyone,

I am sending to this list as it looked like the best place to report a bug
in GnuPG. This problem would only effect a very small number of users, of
which I am one, but I thought it best to let someone know anyway. Here it
is:

My DH/DSS key was generated under PGP 5+ - when I send it to someone using
GnuPG, they can not import it to their key ring. The reason for this appears
to be that one of my email addresses is "sean@ai". This does not break PGP
but does appear to break GnuPG which apparently objects to the lack of a "."
in my email address, even though it is a legitimate address that just
happens to be at a Top Level Domain.

My evidence that this is the problem is that on two occasions, a friend
using GnuPG has not been able to use my key until I removed the "sean@ai"
address from it.
