For i386-linux-gnu, it's system call of prlimit64.

In short, it is your kernel issue.

Here is my analysis.

  (1) GnuPG calls setrlimit.
      It's actually setrlimit64 (compiled with __USE_FILE_OFFSET64).

  (2) In glibc, setrlimit64 is implememted using prlimit64, and its
      system call number is 340 for i386-linux-gnu.

  (3) The system call is apparently not available in Linux kernel
      2.6.32 (or 2.6.34).  It is available in 3.0 series and later.
