I'm so glad other people are seeing this, and it's not just me.  I've been
seeing this ever since I upgraded to KDE 4.1.1 from 3.5.10.

Every signed message I view in KMail causes another gpgsm instance to be
spawned.

$ pgrep gpgsm | wc -l
203

There is apparently no practical limit on the number of these things that can
be spawned.

I almost never quit KMail, and I do see very few gpgsm instances running
sometimes, so I have to guess that they do die off eventually.  Nevertheless,
KMail should be telling these things to terminate when it's finished with them,
or else it should be reusing them rather than spawning new ones all the time. 
Perhaps it's trying to pool and reuse instances and just doing a lousy job?

For what it's worth, they do terminate immediately if I quit KMail.

I'm using KDE 4.3.1 (KMail 1.12.1) built from source by Gentoo's ebuilds.
