segfault on startup

Hi,

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong with my secret keyring that
causes gpa to segfault?

johannes:~$ gpa
Segmentation fault
johannes:~$ mv .gnupg/secring.gpg .
johannes:~$ gpa
[.works somewhat, the "generate key now" window hangs, I have to kill it]
johannes:~$ mv secring.gpg .gnupg/
mv: overwrite `.gnupg/secring.gpg'? y
johannes:~$ gpa
Segmentation fault
johannes:~$

Tx,
johannes

Would you mind to tell us a bit more, e.g. the version of gpa and if
possible a stack backtrace:

gdb gpa

Enter "run" in gdb; when it stops, enter "bt full".

Strangely enough, after exporting all my secret and public keys to
ascii, and re-importing them into new keyrings, gpa works fine.

This could be related to
Debian critical bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=229818
GPA just do "Segmentation fault"

one poster tracked this to an old key that gives a different output
for gpg --list-secret-keys --with-colons.

I can currently reproduce it on one machine where I have copied
old keys over.
Werner, Markus: did you get a go at the bug yet?
It seems nice to fix for Debian because people will get the problem
in real life.

I put it into the tracker.

Thanks,
