I can confirm that gpgme 1.1.3 and gnupg 2.0.2 do not interact properly  
when using it in the MUA balsa.

As an example, try to sign a message, i.e. create a context, select the  
signer's key, create the input and output data objects, and then call  
gpgme_op_sign().  Gpg-agent kicks in and calls pinentry to read the  
passphrase of the secret key.  Now click cancel in pinentry - and  
gpgme_op_sign() will return with exit code 0!  The gpgme debug log  
(balsa-gpgme.log) of this operation is attached.

Replacing gpg2 by gpg 1.4.5, everything works flawlessly (see attached log  
balsa-gpgme-1.4.log).  Please note that at the end of this log, apparently  
more information about the failed operation is available (fd 33:  
"MISSING_PASSPHRASE", "BAD_PASSPHRASE").

This problem might be related to a different one [1] I reported a few  
weeks ago, unfortunately without any feedback yet.

I'm using a PowerMac running Yellowdog Linux (kernel 2.6.19.1) with glibc  
2.3.4 and gcc 3.4.4, if this is important.

Cheers, Albrecht.
