Environment

SuSE Linux 8.2
gpg 1.2.2-rc1-suse
newpg 0.9.4

Description

Specific configuration:

use-agent is set in gpg.conf

I want to decrypt an with "gpg -c" enrypted text file
If I run "gpg -vv filename.gpg" I get follow output:
gpg: CAST5 encrypted data
gpg: some signal caught ... exiting
Segnentation fault

gpg crahsed before I get an windows to insert my passphrase or an "insert your passwort:".

The gpg-agent environment variable is set and the agent is running. All other kind of using gpg runs fine. To disable the gpg agent using "--no-use-agent" as command line option is an running work around.

Fix

work around: use --no-use-agent as command line option
