Description

Trying to generate a key with default options (and it seems with any other, too) fails every time.

Works on the command line and adding a subkey later does also work.

Libkleo does not specify the curve in the parameter file becuase keyCurvve:isEmpty is asserted:

if (!d->keyCurve.isEmpty()) {
    keyParameters.push_back(serialize("Key-Curve", d->keyCurve));
}
