GnuPG: key revoke doesn't work

Has anyone already had problems with revoking key with GnuPG?

First I have created a key pair with:

$ gpg --gen-key

then I wanted to test revoking with:

$ gpg --gen-revoke [uid]

and GnuPG doesn't accept my pass phrase, although it's not wrong. I have generated a key pair three times and three times revoking didn't accept my pass phrase. Is it a bug?

The problem was the unsecure memory. There was also the error message. The solution to this problem is described here:

http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/faqs.html#q6.1

So this error was the reason for the revocation error.
