   The three octets 0x60, 0x47, 0x60 (which spell "PGP" in UTF-8). 
   
   
   PGP 5.0 creates a marker packet of 0x50, 0x47, 0x50. PGP 5.0 will fail if
   0x60, 0x47, 0x60 is used.
   
Thank you, this is obviously an error. 0x60, 0x47, 0x60 is "`G`". 0x50 is
an upper-case P. Fixed in next release.
