Despite having near identical configurations between my work and home
iMacs, I've noticed that at home it's not unusual to see 15 to 30
instances of gpg-agent processes open. I've been unable to remedy the
situation, probably caused by my home iMac being around longer and
suffering from multiple installs of GPGMail
<http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/English.lproj/GPGMail.html>,
MacGPG, MacGPG2, and Enigmail.

My understanding is that it retains secret keys. Is there anyway to
find out what keeps invoking so many instances of gpg-agent? I was
unable to find anything in the email archives.

I'm on OS X 10.5.8 running Thunderbird 3.0 with Enigmail 1.0. Thanks
in advance.

Best,

Jason
