    Yes, yes, this is just a simple example that shows the problem. I do in
    fact use sigaction in my applications and I don't do any I/O from within
    any signal handlers. I am using SuSE's 2.6.8-24.5-smp kernel currently
    but have tried this with 2.6.10 vanilla and a patched version of 2.4.26.
    Other machines in which I do have a .gnupg directory, I do not have that
    empty private-keys-v1.d directory either. All I have is

    -rw------- 1 markh users 8538 2004-12-04 07:05 gpg.conf
    -rw------- 1 markh users 0 2004-12-04 07:05 pubring.gpg
    -rw------- 1 markh users 0 2004-12-04 07:05 secring.gpg

    I've also noticed this only occurs when I login via KDM. If I am at run
    level-3 or ssh into the box then I don't have this problem. And as I
    said if I just remove that directory and re-login, all is fine for a few
    days, until this directory mysteriously reappears with the same
    contents. I have actually copied this directory (in its broken form)
    onto another machine into my account and the problem does not seem to
    follow the directory. Even so, I cannot help but think it has something
    to do with gnupgp. What causes this directory to be created? Why are its
    contents different on this machine? How could gnupgp or pgp affect my
    environment such that I cannot receive realtime signals. The same
    program using SIGUSR1 or SIGUSR2 will function ok?
