Description

Almost every time I use gpa in Windows it crashes after a short while. No
special things trigger it. It can be while I copy to clipboard or share a key.
Or just nothing. I have talked to a few friends who also use gpa and they all
have the same problem. Have tried it both on Windows 2003, 2008, 7 and 8.1 all
have the same problem. Any ideas?

From where did you get the gpa.exe - was it part of gpg4win; if so which version?

Yes, it is part of the gpg4win, it is the latest version. 2.2.3 but the last
versions also have the same problem.

Could this case please get some attention. This is still an issue for me and
everyone else I know using GPA for windows. Can I help with any more information?

Can you please try with the latest gpg4win version? We have not fixed any bug
leading to a crash but some libraries have been updated, so it would be good to
get a confirmation that there is still a problem.

I would also suggest to try it under a new user account to avoid problems with
already existsing keys. What other software are you using on your machines -
something must be uncommon in your installation.

I can't reproduce this. I've tried running gpa for several days in a Vbox and
doing crypto operations now and then. It never crashes.

This on Windows 10 32bit.

snicker: I'm sorry it's been so long since you've gotten a response.

Are you still getting these crashes? If so, it would be good if you could run
gpa under gdb. Then, when it crashes, you should be able to get a backtrace
using: 'bt full'

Unfortunately, I don't use Windows so I can't provide more exact instructions.
I hope Andre will correct any details I've gotten wrong.
