After digging around a little more, it looks like the problem is happening
at the end of the DSA key generation.

I'm having an annoying problem with gpg1.2.2 for windows.

Using the following batch file

Genkey.bat:
"C:\DEV\crypto\gpg.exe" --homedir "C:\DEV\crypto" --batch --logger-fd 1
--gen-key "C:\DEV\crypto\opts.dat"

and the following options file

opt.dat:

Key-Type: DSA
Key-Length: 1024
Subkey-Type: ELG-E
Subkey-Length: 2048
#Subkey-Confirm: y
Expire-Date: 0
Name-Real: genkey
Name-Comment: Comment
Name-Email: Email
Passphrase: Passphrase
%pubring C:/DEV/crypto/37827.4753785069
%secring C:/DEV/crypto/37827.4753785069.sec
%commit

If I run this in a "clean directory with only the gpg exe's in the directory
with the genkey.bat and opts.dat file I'll get a Dr. Watson error about 8
times out of 10 

OS is win2k sp 3

Is there anything I can do, or am I out of luck?
