i think i might have found the problem, and also,
why only some of us, Johan, myself, and only a very few others, are 
having it, and why it is hard for most others to reproduce it ...

_v3 rsa keys_ !

while these are accepted by gnupg 
(am currently using 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 cvs   mingw32),
they refuse to be imported by winpt 0.11.6 or the winpt-cvs,

have tried a new install on a new machine, never having winpt or 
gnupg
and imported keys one by one into winpt

when the first v3 key was imported,
0.11.6 said it didn't have a self-signature,
(it did, but it was a v3 md5 one)
and then after that, 0.11.6 crashes upon startup

on my other machine, with existing gnupg keyrings,
with v3 keys in them,
winpt-cvs crashes upon loading the pubring.gpg on start-up

would like to ask others here to confirm if this is so,

(with respect to those who prefer not to have idea loaded,
have prepared a v3 twofish keypair for testing, 
that does not require 'idea')

the key works fine in gnupg,
and used to work fine in earlier winpt versions (on my system)

Thanks in Advance for testing/clarifying
