Thank you for minimizing.  I'd like to clarify the case.  Is this
importing private key?

The invocation of gpg-agent by gpg frontend has an inherent race in the
current implementation; When gpg frontend invokes gpg-agent, after
spawning gpg-agent, gpg frontend tries to connect five times with one
second intervals.  When a machine is busy enough and scheduling of
processes goes not that fair, the connection to gpg-agent from gpg
frontend may fail.

That's I have investigated, so far.  I wonder if this is related to the
issue.
