This following list contains those bugs which we are aware of. Please
make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
of these bugs/limitations we will certainly be glad to receive a patch.
(Please note that we need a disclaimer if a patch is longer than about
10 lines; but it may help anyway to show us where we have to fix it. Do
an "info standards" to find out why a disclaimer is needed for GNU.)

Bugs which are marked with "FIX: yyyy-mm-dd" are fixed in the CVS
and after about half a day in the rsync snapshots.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ *] #3
--list-packets should continue even w/o a passphrase (or in batch
mode). Maybe we have to move it to a separate program??
[ *] #4 1999-01-13 <ralf.stephan@fitug.de> 0.9.1
v3 key 'expiration date' problem:
1. generate a key, set expiration date
2. <do other things, deleting etc.>
3. edit a v3 secret key, try to set expiration date
- output: "You can't change...
4. save
5. key has expiration date from 1. and gpg reports that pubkey
and seckey differ.
The for loop the exp.date is set before v3 detection?
[is this bug still alive? - can someone please check it]
[ **] #6 1999-02-22 <backes@rhrk.uni-kl.de> 0.9.3
Bus error on IRIX 6.4: Crash while doing a keygen. I think while creating
the prime. Other bus errors are reported when doing a "gpg README"
on sparc-solaris2.6.
--> Solaris fixed.
--> IRIX bug still there but someone should test this again!
(<mack@sgi.com> reports that it is still alive in 1.0.0)
(seems to be fixed now. wk 2000-01-14)
[ *] #18 1999-05-27 <Steffen.Zahn@icn.siemens.de> 0.9.7
rndunix hangs on hp/ux. The problem is related to my_plcose which is
not always called. (I suggest to use EGD instead of rndunix.)
[ *] #24 1999-09-05 <marcus@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au> 0.9.11
Does not link libc and libz expect when removing all "-lc -lz" except
for the last one. This happens on some systems when not using the
GNU ld. This need to be fixed in libtool.
[ *] #28 1999-11-29
--list-key will only emit an error about unknown UIDs when all UIDs
are unknown.
[Postponed for 1.2]
[ *] #30 1999-12-16 <pfeifer@dbai.tuwien.ac.at>
Using -r with a name does not check for multiple recpients and may
lead to unwanted recipients.
[ *] #31 199-12-24 Jeff Allen <jra@corp.webtv.net>
VPATH build in a subdirectory of the sources does not work for po files.
Next #31
