Multithreaded Bug in GNUPG? - Sometimes Returns Exit Code 2 while decrypting

[Harakiri]

On a multithreaded envirenment, when calling the gnupg
binary multiple times, sometimes (2-3%) not 0 is
returned for decryption but 2 and no further error
messages.

I was able to reproduce it with a simple script which
would decrypt the same data everytime, this script was
running in 20 threads for a while - and gnupg would
return indeed the mysterious 2 on a debian sarge
system.

First i thought it was an issue with the keyrings and
input data - so i made sure that for each thread a
seperate copy of each file (secring, encrypted data)
which will be used by GNUPG has been created - the
same result happend - there seems to be a concurrency
issue with gnupg - anyone could shed any insight to
this ?

Thanks
