does gpg cope with very large key sizes

[Philippe Cerfon]

Hi.

For those wo are interested,... ;)

I've aborted trying to create a 65536 bit RSA key. Took just too long
and I don't know enough on key generation to make an estimation ;)


Anyway,.. when trying to create 32768 bit RSA key I've got the following error:
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

gpg: out of secure memory while allocating 4096 bytes
gpg: (this may be caused by too many secret keys used simultaneously
or due to excessive large key sizes)

Is this a bug? Or is there anything I can do to get more "secure memory"?


Thanks,
Philippe
