force-mdc error
Yesterday I got an convential encrypted packet.
But when I tried to decrypt it, the gpg put out the following
message and crash.

> gpg: encrypted_mdc packet with unknown version 156
> gpg: BLOWFISH encrypted data
>

> Segmentation fault

The packet must be corrupted during the transport.
But I think this behavior isn't correct!

Can you please try to add a

skip_rest (inp, pktlen);

after the error message about line 1737 in g10/parse-packet.c and
try again. if this does not help I'd would appreciate if you can
run gpg under a debugger and send me a stack backtrace or cinstruct
a test case for me.

Thanks,

Werner
