If your transcript is accurate, things seem to be stalled, and gpg is not behaving like you're at a prompt when you type stuff to it, just the terminal is echoing back what you typed. This then looks like it might be the same bug someone else mentioned here I have not managed to reproduce that problem. Are you seeing stalls with any particular size of file? Does it happen with very small files? """]]
