Yes, I'm talking to different servers (as would be expected). Just
tried it a few times ...

2001:470:1f09:5e7::2    worked
2001:470:1f0a:5d7::2    failed

In any case thanks for clarifying the cause of the error ... it's just
hard to debug without putting those options in first obviously, and
with those options the output is very noisy.

GnuPG folks, would it be possible to add a keyserver-option to show
the IP address of the server connected to? I could live with that full
time, and it would make reporting errors a lot easier.
