Release: 1.4.2

Environment

Win32 binary, Linux compiled from source, i386, gcc 3.3.4

Description

gpg --batch --gen-key genparam.txt fails to create a key. It gives the error gpg: build-packet.c:74: build_packet: Assertion `pkt->pkt.generic' failed.
I am confident that it works in version 1.2.7 and 1.2.5.
A bit of debugging does not reveal the problem to me.

How To Repeat

Use the attached file in the following command:
gpg --homedir . --batch --gen-key genparam.txt

Fix

Use an earlier version of the program. However, earlier versions of the program have bugs which make this workaround unusable.
Fixing the source code in genkey would seem to be the answer.
