Corruption of KeyRing (possible WinPT related?)

[Peter Schott]

Timo, I'm using 1.4.1 on my PC.  I was just a little concerned as I
don't use GPG on a regular basis so when something reports that one of
my keyrings is corrupt, it's probably one of my manager-type programs.

Current running WinPT and the Outlook plugin.  Those would be the only
programs I can think of that would be touching the keyring.

If there's something else that could be affecting this, please let me
know.  I'll check into it.

Thanks.

-Pete

I heard about this problem one or two times, but fact is that WinPT
never writes to the keyring directly. The backup is also a one-way
process which means: the pubring.gpg is copied to pubring-bak.gpg but
not vice versa.

What GPG version you use (1.4.1)?
