Q: PGP 5.x, 6.x does not like my secret key.
A: PGP probaly bails out on some private comment packets used by GnuPG.
These packets are fully in compliance with OpenPGP; however PGP is not

full name of the DLL (e.g. "c:\foo\bar\entropy.dll") under
the key:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\GNU\GnuPG\EntropyDLL
