I am sorry for this.  I didn't change the version number because this
make a large patch as several generated files are changed too and the
old ZIP file was only out for a couple of hours.  I didn't realized
that the main server which mirrors the the one I upload too, didn't
automatically deleted the 1.4.0.zip.

Run "gpg --check-trustdb" - the 1.4.0 version should fail.

Or faster and read-only:

 gpg --print-md SHA1 gpg.exe

should print for the bad one (1.4.0):

 gpg.exe: 20F7 3F35 434B 708E C907  1CB2 EB7F 8AAB 72AF 641C

and for the good one (1.4.0a):

 gpg.exe: 19E1 C0E1 1402 B986 8CA8  77A5 0AC7 7224 8FC1 EC40


Hth,
