I attached again the strace output.
From the strace it seems suspend-keygen exits cleanly. There are several points in the code where the execution path jumps to clean up if something returned an error. Unfortunately there are almost no error messages. I could stick some in, but if you are able to handle gdb, you could also try to find the problem yourself. What bothers me a bit, is that apparently suspend-keygen bails out at different points. If you get no prompt for the number of bits, already initialization of the libgcrypt library didn't succeed. In the second trace at least part of the key was generated. Hmm, could it be that you are running out of memory? grts Tim
