Gnupg or keyserver bug?

[Kevin Bube]

Hi all,

yesterday I encountered a gpg error while I tried to import a key from a
keyserver. This is the first key where I saw this.

,----
| kevin at leibnitz:~/tmp $ gpg --keyserver blackhole.pca.dfn.de --homedir /tmp --recv-key EAE8EB6A
| gpg: keyring `/tmp/secring.gpg' created
| gpg: keyring `/tmp/pubring.gpg' created
| gpg: requesting key EAE8EB6A from hkp server blackhole.pca.dfn.de
| 
| gpg: Ohhhh jeeee: mpi crosses packet border
| secmem usage: 0/0 bytes in 0/0 blocks of pool 0/32768
| Aborted

However if I use another keyserver this works:

,----
| kevin at leibnitz:~/tmp $ gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --homedir /tmp --recv-key EAE8EB6A
| gpg: requesting key EAE8EB6A from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
| gpg: /tmp/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
| gpg: key EAE8EB6A: public key "Malte S. Stretz <mss at msquadrat.de>" imported
| gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
| gpg: Total number processed: 1
| gpg:               imported: 1
`----

Is this a GnuPG problem or one of the keyserver?

Regards,

Kevin
