[gnutls-dev] Client OpenPGP verification fails

Sorry, I've sent this to the wrong mailing list. Should belong here in
devel:

OK, I think now I've got it: You allocate the memory later on. But there's
still a problem: Even with the third parameter set to NULL,
gnutls_openpgp_key_export (in libextra/openpgp/pgp.c) doesn't return
GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER because cdk_kbnode_write_to_mem (called from
gnutls_openpgp_key_export) returns 0 if you give it a NULL pointer to write to.
(This might be an OpenCDK problem, though.) Could anyone have a look at it,
please?

I just deleted the "if (ret != GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER)" clause, but I'm
running into another problem now. I'll let you know if I found out more.
