If you run gpg under a debugger the debugger should break at the bus error and allow you to generate a backtrace (when using gdb you would enter bt full and then info registers).

The good news is that I've put together a small Python script that will (hopefully) make things a little easier on you.

I am basically just a dumb user who has no real experience programming other than a little COBAL back in college 25 years ago (don't laugh). I read the agent-alter PDF and I get the gist of what it does. My problem is I really unfamiliar with using terminal. To use agent-alter do I just copy the code from the PDF and paste into terminal or is more involved? I understand how to change the cache values in agent-alter but beyond that I am pretty clueless. If there are a few monkey-see monkey-do steps that I need to do to implement alter-agent could you let me know what they are. If it is more involved than that or if it is something I could easily screw up my system not knowing what I am doing let me know and I will search for another encryption solution.

It involves editing a couple of configuration files by hand, and requires you to be a little comfortable with the command-line, yes. This much is true. :) I am basically just a dumb user This much is totally bogus. :) who has no real experience programming other than a little COBAL back in college 25 years ago (don't laugh). Laughing at COBOL is sort of like laughing at the Great Pyramids of Egypt: it tells you a lot more about the person doing the laughing than it does about COBOL. Speaking just for myself, I don't laugh at apps that have been running for five decades without a crash. I read the agent-alter PDF and I get the gist of what it does. My problem is I really unfamiliar with using terminal. That's not for you, friend. :) My goal is to give you a tool you can easily use to solve your problem. That PDF was meant more for other people to review and tell me, no, you're doing it wrong, you should (And that was very much worthwhile: Werner pointed me towards the gpgconf tool, which simplified things a lot.) Anyway. You might want to take a look at: http://keyservers.org/~rjh/AlterAgent.zip Download it, unzip it, and within there will be an OS X app called AlterAgent. Double-click and you might just get the solution to your problem. It might also crash horribly. *I've only tested it on my own machine.* No warranties express or implied, etc., etc. If it breaks you get to keep both parts. If you have feedback (it's great, you're so cool!, or my Mac is now on fire and it's all your fault!), please send it to me directly: don't spam the list with it, please.
