There is a bad formatted signature in the key:

:signature packet: algo 17, keyid 432843E0AF3C67EA
        version 4, created 1095417478, md5len 0, sigclass 10
        digest algo 2, begin of digest c6 a9
        hashed subpkt 2 len 4 (sig created 2004-09-17)
        subpkt 16 len 8 (issuer key ID 432843E0AF3C67EA)
        data: [158 bits]
        data: [MPI_NULL]
              ^^^^^^^^^^

Current GnuPG versions bail out due to this (the length given in the
header of the MPI exceeds the length of the signature packet).  In the
last weeks the problem occurred more and more and thus I changed the
code to behave more gracefully.  The current CVS version will do

gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux)
gpg: mpi larger than indicated length (22 bytes)
gpg: read_block: read error: invalid packet
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: import from `[stdin]' failed: invalid keyring
gpg: Total number processed: 0

on --import. This is better than before but we still need to change it
further to skip such invalid signature packets.


Shalom-Salam,
