I think you're not supposed to use ElGamal keys that can sign and 
encrypt, but GPG shouldn't crash in any case. This crash happens 
consistently.

C:\> gpg --batch --gen-key
Key-Type: RSA
Key-Usage: sign
Subkey-Type: ELG-E
Subkey-Usage: encrypt sign
Name-Real: Joe Blow

gpg: keysize invalid; using 1024 bits
gpg: NOTE: you should run 'diskperf -y' to enable the disk statistics
