yeah, i'm using 1.07.

matt roper had the same problem -- he couldn't verify anyone's signature
because his own private key lost its trust rating.  therefore,
everyone's key that he signed instantly became untrusted.

i spent about 30 minutes figuring out what happened.  i emailed him what
i had found earlier, and he found that the same thing had happened - his
private key lost its trust rating.

i already looked at the changelog, but didn't find anything useful.
