As this bug is really a PITA (because I always have to guess for which=20
of my keys pinentry wants to know the passphrase) I added the below=20
crude workaround which simply masks all non-7-bit characters as '.', so=20
that at least all 7-bit characters are displayed.

You should consider adding this to cvs as a temporary workaround since=20
it's IMO preferable to display something (the 7-bit characters of the=20
description) than not to display anything at all.
