gpeme_get_key returns a 'general error' after some time.

[Florian Schwind]

Hello all,

I have some strange problems using gpg (1.4.9) resp. gpgme (1.1.4) and 
hope someone can help me.

I'm using gpgme to encrypt a lot of files and at some point the function 
"gpgme_get_key" returns a "General error" and all further encryptions 
fail until I restart the process. Sometimes the system runs for only a 
few minutes and sometimes it lasts for hours before the error occurs.

My first thought was that there might be some problems with 
multi-threading so I synchronized all calls and took care of the 
encryption never running parallel.

Does someone has any idea how to fix this?

Thanks for your help!

Regards
Florian Schwind
