Since various gnupg users have indicated that gpg wants to mlock 32kB of memory, I created the patch below that increases the default mlock ulimit to 32kB. This is no security problem because it's trivial for processes to lock way more memory than this in page tables, network buffers, etc. In fact, since this patch allows gnupg to mlock to prevent passphrase data from being swapped out, the security people will probably like it ;) This gets the new per-user mlock limit a bit more testing, too.
