The patch doesn't apply, it's off by too many lines. After fixing this
however, I can't link because xmalloc_clear is not known. After adding
a dummy #define for xmalloc_clear in include/memory.h, things work out
fine. Thanks!

What's the next version that will include this fix? Should I notify the
FreeBSD GnuPG port maintainer so he can add this patch to the 1.4.2
port until the next version will be released?

thanks, t.
