This was the configure script I was using:
"./configure --enable-graphviz --enable-gd --enable-gpg
--with-web-user=www-data --with-web-group=www-data --with-db-type=Pg
--with-web-handler=modperl2"

All I did was change it to:
"./configure --enable-graphviz --enable-gd --with-web-user=www-data
--with-web-group=www-data --with-db-type=Pg
--with-web-handler=modperl2"
and the problem disappeared.

As per the configure script help:
"--enable-gpg            Turns on GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) support"
it does not look like it's on by default so by not providing
"--enable-gpg" should turn gpg off. But if indeed is on by default and
I have to use "--disable-gpg" to disable it, then I have no idea why
the problem went away, maybe it will reappear later. I would hate
that.
