+XXX: This creates a big regression for Windows because the keyring
+* is only released after the global ctrl is released. So if an operation
+* does a getkey and then tries to modify the keyring it will fail on
+* Windows with a sharing violation. We need to modify all
+* keyring write operations to also take the ctrl and close the
+* cached_getkey_kdb handle to make writing work. See:
+* https://dev.gnupg.org/T3097
