I think I located the problem, but I don't know how to fix.

It was introduced by the function check_user_ids.  It searches once,
and then, in the line 2198, it searches again.  Here, packets up to
the next PKT_PUBLIC_KEY will be skipped and subkeys are not registered
to the hash table.  Next time keyring_search will be called, the call
to lookup_offset_hash_table will fail (as the subkey is not
registered) and returns -1.

I think that this bug should be fixed before the release of 2.1.10.

I tried the following patch and it works well again, but this is
not the proper fix.
