probs w/ uncompressed encapsulating signature files

I'm signing some files without compression, but gpg is then
having problems verifying its own output.  I've hand parsed
gpg's output using rfc 2440, and it looks fine.  The output
is a one pass signature packet, followed by a literal data
packet (with binary data), followed by a signature packet.

Here's how to repeat the problem:

% gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.0.0
...

% gpg -s -z 0 testfile
...

% gpg --verify testfile.gpg
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: verify signatures failed: eof

% gpg --list-packets testfile.gpg
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: processing message failed: eof


Let me know if you need more data, want me to try on a
newer version of gpg, or if I'm just misunderstanding some
of gpg's command line options.

Thanks,
- Dave
