[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#772780: gnupg: "out of secure memory" even with only 4096-RSA keys when using addkey in --edit-key interface

Thank you.  It is now reproducible for me (i386 and amd64) with
gnupg 1.4.12-7+deb7u6.

I think that the combination of:

	Your configuration of: s2k-cipher-algo S10
	Adding RSA-4096 subkey for sign
	RSA Blinding

... are things to cause the issue.

I don't have a solution/workaround at hand, right now, but I could
explain the reason.

In the security fix, GnuPG introduced RSA Blinding which requires more
memory.  Thus, some operations (which could be done in the past)
cannot be done these days.
