problem importing keys (GPG 0.9)
I have my PGP5.0 key asci armored, and I'd like to import it to my GnuPG keyring. This is my problem:

[phumpherys@blackdog phumpherys]$ gpg --import <phil.asc

gpg: Interrupt caught ... exiting

I have to CNTL-C to Interrupt out...

Thoughts?

Please see whether the process exists (kill -0 26736) and if not
simply delete the lockfile (ls ~/.gnupg/*.lock). I know that there is
a race condition when you interrupt gpg.
