 Yes, Problem seems to be with mutt only.

  Yes, To add to that, It seems that it is not the number of keys in a keyring
but, may be the size of the public keyings. In testing at one point we had 15 
keys (some large) and mutt puked. At another time we had up to 27 before 
mutt would puke (using both pgp and gpg). As i said in the first e-mail, i have 
figured out when mutt calls "pgpring -5 ''" and during reading/parsing ??? of it's 
output is when it will puke.
