It looks like gpg 1.0.6e is still generating DSA keys that are missing one of 
the factors of (p-1)/2, as I noticed earlier.
<http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2002-February/006818.html>
If I take (p-1)/2 and divide off q and the given factors, I'm still left with 
a large composite number. This isn't a big problem, but it looks like an easy 
fix.

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding how the factor entries are supposed to work, in 
which case maybe someone can straighten me out.
