Most likely you are experiencing the pinentry-qt "out of memory" crash. 
To check this run pinentry-qt manually and then enter "getpin" at the 
prompt.

You have two options:
1.) Use pinentry-gtk.
2.) Patch pinenty-qt: In pinentry/qt/main.cpp around line 114 double the 
value in the secmem_init( ... ) command. If you are using SuSE 8.2 or 
9.0 then you can find RPMs of pinentry with this patch at 
http://kmail.ingo-kloecker.de (at the bottom of this page).

Ingo
