Steve,

This bug ticket is from over a year ago.  But I tried "ls -R /", and it
still doesn't work.  I.e. I'm still sitting at "Need 277 more bytes"
indefinitely.

I also tried your line:  "find /var/ /usr /lib /srv -type f -print0 |
xargs -0 cat > /dev/null"

Well, actually my /var /usr /lib and /srv can fit into my disk cache, so
that line ran in <1second after the first run.

So I tried find ~ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 cat > /dev/null

My "~" directory is pretty big so it sits at that for a while, but "gpg
--gen-key" still sits.

I'm pretty sure something is wrong.  I can run strace if you think it
would help.

thanks,

aporter
