Thanks for this whole series of bug reports.  I haven't triaged them
yet, but i note that they all have "Fwd: " in the subject line.

Presumably that means that they're forwarded from somewhere, but i don't
know where.  where are they forwarded from?

Many of the patches suggest familiarity with C, which is great.  Do you
know how to generate patches in the unified diff format?  Including a
machine-appliable patch with each report would make it easier for people
to see the changes you're proposing.

Also: were you using a tool to find these problems, or just reading the
code yourself?  If you're using a tool to find them, what tool?

Finally, most of these look like they might be issues in the upstream
code.  This kind of report is likely to be most useful submitted
directly to the upstream development team at <gnupg-devel at gnupg.org>.

I can do all the patch generation and forwarding to upstream if you
like, but it sounds like you could be even more helpful interacting with
upstream directly.  If you're interested in figuring out how to do that,
but aren't sure where to start, i'd be happy to help you sort it out.

You can e-mail me or find me on IRC (on irc.oftc.net, in #debian-gnupg)
if you want to chat further.

Thanks again for all these reports,

	--dkg
