CRL loading error

[Luca M. G. Centamore]

Hi all,
I'm experiencing the following error when I try to load the Thawte CRL:

[luca at p27250000 luca]$ gpgsm --call-dirmngr LOADCRL \ 
cert/x509/ThawtePersonalFreemailIssuingCA.crl

Secure memory is not locked into core

gpgsm: response of dirmngr: bad signature


I looked at the mailing list and I read the thread "Attempt to verify Thawte 
signature" reporting and solving(?) the very same error. What I 
(mis?)understood is that:
1) dirmngr is using some code _copied_from libassuan which was at fault. A fix 
was released on CVS but it seemed not to appear in the release;
2) it should use the static linked library instead, but I wasn't able to 
understand whether this feature was released in a new version or not;

I'm using:
gnupg-1.9.1
dirmngr-0.4.5
libassuan-0.6.0

Best regards
Luca
