Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

Machine upgraded from Intrepid to Jaunty

I have a keyring that should be unlocked at login. Attempting to use it (e.g. for ssh) causes me to be prompted for the keyring password, then the key password. It then provides authentication for a few ssh sessions, but after a while hits 100% CPU. Trying to use it after that causes it to segfault.

Attaching some output from running it with gdb and debugging symbols installed. I have stripped my key/passphrase.

Also adding a .diff.gz based on upstream patch at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575247.
This is the first time I'm doing this, (after the packaging training session by dholbach yesterday) so please review and let me know if it is all kibosh...

could you add a debdiff rather than a diff.gz? it's much easier to review

I upgraded gnome-keyring from 2.26.0-0ubuntu4 to 2.26.0-0ubuntu6, and the problem with gnome-keyring is back. When I ssh to another server, gnome-keyring-daemon starts using 100% CPU and the ssh client hangs. Finally, gnome-keyring-daemon dies. 2.26.0-0ubuntu4 fixed this problem, but it reappeared in 2.26.0-0ubuntu6.
