Attached you find a patch which addresses the decrypt issue.
It changes the setdata command of scdaemon to support chaining.
The first part of the data is transfered like before. If there is more
data it can be concatenated to the first using
SETDATA --more [data]

The two callers of PKDECRYPT (in g10/call-agent.c and agent/call-scd.c)
are changed to use this chaining mechanism.
