That's the symptoms I saw.  What version did you see this with ?

AFAICT from looking at the git history, some of these patches have
gone upstream quite recently.

If you like I could prepare you a source tree (in git form) or a
binary package containing my 4/4 patch on top of the version you have
right now, for you to test.

NB I am not the maintainer of gnupg2.  I am just another user.

Regards,
Ian.
