I just re-ran the gen-key procedure.  Looks like another Android doosie...
gpg2.log does not get created, gpg-agent.log is 0.  I included gpgme.log and
the Android logcat starting from when the app started till when it failed on
the key create.  Those are attached.

If you remember with other bits, we had to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for things to
work, and we can't just set it on the app process because of Java
restrictions.  import, export, and gpgmeOpKeylist() all work, so I guess that
means LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correct.

I can't think of anything else.  But gpgme is consistently failing only on the
operations that require pinentry to get a passphrase.
