Yeah, that are keys mangled by a broken keyservers. Although they have
composite primes the private keys won't have them. We analyzed them
last fall already. A well known Linux hacker does now understand why he
often receives mails which he can't decrypt: Because those senders use a
mangled subkey of him.
