The above went out with a bug in it which makes the generation of secret
keys impossible so it has been patched.

If you downloaded any of the OpenPGP distributions or the master
distributions crypto-125.tar.gz or crypto-125.zip.

If you need to verify whether you have the patched version please check
it against:

http://www.bouncycastle.org/checksums.html

Although if you are generating your own PGP keys it will be fairly
obvious which one you have. You can also try:

java org.bouncycastle.openpgp.examples.RSAKeyPairGenerator -a bouncy
password

and if it throws a NullPointerException you know you've got the problem
jar.

We apologise for the inconvenience...
