I have invoked the program in the following way:
/root/gpgme-1.3.2/tests/run-sign.o --key FPR_ID_OF_KEY samplefile

Thanks!
M.

You don't need to paste the program, just the version of gpgme is
sufficient.

GPGME does not cache any passphrases.  That is the task of gpg-agent.

It would be useful to see how you invoked the program what version of
GPGME, GnuPG, and what OS you are using.
