--batch switch not always preventing questions

[Knut Forkalsrud]

I'm using gpg 1.2.1 in an automated setup and use the --batch switch
to prevent any questions.  However, it has happened that a funky input
file has caused gpg to hang around waiting for user input.  Below is
an example file that illustrates the issue.  I call the file nope2.msg
and try the following command:

  gpg --decrypt --batch --yes nope2.msg

and the process hangs until I press C-c or C-d.  If I omit --batch and
--yes I get the question:

  Detached signature.
  Please enter name of data file: 

but I don't want to answer such a question, I just want to get an
error message.  I realize that if I replace --decrypt with --verify
the program doesn't hang, and I do get an error message, but shouldn't
the same be true with --decrypt?

Thanks in advance,
