Hi,

Running gpg 1.0.7 on MacOS X 10.1.4, I noticed a malloc problems. I type 
the following command:

gpg --debug 511 --charset utf-8 --no-force-v3-sigs --armor 
--notation-data mycode=myvalue --clearsign

Then I enter my passphrase, the text to sign ("test") and CTRL-D, and 
there is a (MacOS X specific) malloc warning. Can anyone reproduce the 
problem on another system having a malloc-protection too (guard pages)?
Problem is due to the notation-data presence.

Cheers,

Stéphane
