They should. I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test it yet. It's an
intermittent problem. Sometimes the signature won't contain any LF
characters, so the test will pass successfully. I've found that running
the openpgp test several times in succession (usually less than six)
will eventually cause a failure. Oh, hey, I just thought of how it can
be tested - I can capture one of the problem signatures, and then write
a test that swaps in a different GPG signature generator, which will be
hard-coded to return the "problem" signature.
