Yow! I tried importing this into PGP 5.5.3 QU2, using the
Eudora 3.0.5 PGP plugin, and it crashed with a dialog box saying
This program has performed an illegal operation

I tried saving the key in a file and importing into PGP,
and it also died with the same kind of dialog box.
This is a listing of the key.
:compressed packet: algo=2
Maybe this is the problem. Compress algo 2 is standard zlib
compression - what about adding this to OpenPGP? And while doing
that, isn't it worth to add an identifier for bzip2.

It is RFC1991 with an OpenPGP packet of type 16 used for the comment.
You cannot expect that PGP understands this - but it should not
SIGSEGV.
