+### Please describe the problem.
+git-annex goes into a loop of I think Haskell's createProcess function and causes the entire operating system to starve of process creation.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+The last file git-annex was processing was tinco.gpg, my gpg key exported with
+  
+   gpg --export mail@tinco.nl --output tinco.gpg 
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+4.20130516-g8a26544 on OSX
+
+I had a remote setup using bup.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+Unfortunately to fix the problem I have deleted the entire git repository and made a new init in the same directory, this time without the gpg file. Everything seems to be working now.
+
+What I remember about the log file is that the last thing it said was something along the lines of 
+
+add tinco.gpg
