gnupg v1.05 and key expiration dates

[David R. Bergstein]

I neglected to mention this issue is on the win32 binary and have not
checked to see if it happens under gnupg v1.05 for linux.

I followed the procedures recommended for exporting and
reimporting my public and secret keyrings.  However, it appears
that expiration dates for public keys are not correctly read
under v1.05.  Here is an example of an expired key:

Under gnupg v1.04:

Under gnupg v1.05 it appears to still be an active key (see
expiration date!):

This is clearly an issue.  Has anyone else noticed this problem?
