Bug report: the add public key page doesn't recognize the public key exported by GnuPG which has the header

  -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
  Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin)
I figured out that the second line with version should be removed but the error message is not quite helpful.

Hi, engineer who worked on this here. Would you mind linking me to your key, including the version line, and letting me know the error message is? I'll try to see what the issue is.
The key you linked to seems to have invalid CRC bytes at the end of its ASCII armor - this is why we can't accept it, as it's malformed. http://imgur.com/J1bp73V
