See, and this is exactly the reason why there should be an option to gnupg like --notty with --nostdin to make a generic for every platform - the caller does not really need to know about these OS specifics. He is using "--batch" as the name implies - it should be done automatically always - now i have to make a workaround because

a) GNUPG does not inform the caller via status-fd that its a detached signature and halts the processing
b) GNUPG needs "--batch" on "some" occasions to be really "batch mode" compatbile (this is undocumented and should be a flag)
c) Since i do not know in advance if it is an encrypted or detached signature file (no status output) - i may need to pipe the passphrase too - but with stdin to dev/null - i cant anymore
