Gpg.exe hangs while decrypting files in Win 2k3
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Hi,
I am using gpg.exe to decrypt files which I recieve from an external source.
The process Gpg.exe is invoked thru a batch file. However, I have noticed that
sometimes the process gpg.exe hangs while decrypting a particular file( I
recieve 3 files in all, it is able to decrypt 2 of them but hangs on 3rd). This
is happening only in our production server to which I dont have access, so it
has become difficult for me as each time I have to get a series of approvals to
get the process killed. Can someone help me troubleshoot the issue?

Following are details which might help you.

  1. Server OS is Win 2K3
  2. Gnupg version is 1.1.3
  3. Contents of batch file

gpg --passphrase * --output file1.dat --decrypt file1.dat.pgp
gpg --passphrase ** --output file2.dat --decrypt file2.dat.pgp
gpg --passphrase
** --output file3.dat --decrypt file3.dat.pgp

The process is hanging while decrypting the 3rd file.

Thanks,
Prasanna.
