This morning i wrote a message about this problem, but it seems that it 
doesnt appeared to this list (i posted it through gmane.org). So i will

It seems that armored keyrings, created with PGP 8, cause the same 
problem.

And, i don't know if it is worth mentioning, i could reproduce it on 
MacOS X, WinNT 4 and Linux.
