Yes.  The keyserver stuff is pretty significantly different, but many
people are using 1.4.0a on win32 without a problem.

Can you re-run the keyserver that failed command with
'--keyserver-options keep-temp-files' set?  Reply with the tempin.txt
and tempout.txt files.  The tempin.txt and tempout.txt files will end
up in a directory named gpg-XXXXXX under your temp dir (usually
c:\windows\temp).
