This seems to be the correct fix given that the rest of the code does
not assume that a session object exists.

Indeed:

  $ gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'ks_fetch http://werner.eifzilla.de/mykey.asc' /bye
  gpg-connect-agent: no running Dirmngr - starting '/usr/local/bin/dirmngr'
  gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the dirmngr to come up ... (5s)
  gpg-connect-agent: connection to the dirmngr established
  gpg-connect-agent: receiving line failed: End of file

The dirmngr crashed.  With the fix it works:  

  $ gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'ks_fetch http://werner.eifzilla.de/mykey.asc' /bye
  gpg-connect-agent: no running Dirmngr - starting '/usr/local/bin/dirmngr'
  gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the dirmngr to come up ... (5s)
  gpg-connect-agent: connection to the dirmngr established
