pubring.gpg was renamed to pubring.bak, but pubring.tmp was left as it
was. This was almost 20 minutes just for the cache rebuild, not even the
trust check.

In 1.3.93-cvs from this last weekend, the first rename failed and allowed
the check-trustdb to run. Please note the time taken.

Compare the time taken with 1.2.x:

bash-2.05b$ stable/gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.2.7-cvs-2004-12-11

bash-2.05b$ time stable/gpg --check-trustdb
gpg: checking at depth 0 signed=444 ot(-/q/n/m/f/u)=0/0/0/0/0/36
gpg: checking at depth 1 signed=172 ot(-/q/n/m/f/u)=0/377/1/9/57/0
gpg: checking at depth 2 signed=66 ot(-/q/n/m/f/u)=0/67/0/5/3/0
gpg: checking at depth 3 signed=9 ot(-/q/n/m/f/u)=0/3/0/0/0/0
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2004-12-23

real    0m19.438s

bash-2.05b$ 1.2.6/gpg --version

Checking the trustdb takes < 20 sec in 1.2.x but nearly 40 minutes in
1.3.93? OUCH!  Can this be worked on before 1.4?
