Description
> keybase version
Client: 1.0.12-0
Service: 1.0.12-0
I'm trying to encrypt and sign a file:
keybase pgp encrypt --sign --infile regions
I'm prompted for the passphrase for my PGP key:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Please enter the passphrase to unlock the secret key for: │
│ PGP key Brian Lalor <blalor@bravo5.org> AC54EE282DBC1921 │
│ │
│ Reason: command-line signature │
│ │
│ Your key passphrase ________________________________________ │
│ │
│ <OK> <Cancel> │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
I enter the password (correctly, honest!) and get the error Failed to unlock key; bad passphrase.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with keybase version 1.0.12-0 using keybase pgp encrypt --sign --infile regions and the reported PGP key. Trace the command-line signature passphrase-unlock path; done means a correct passphrase unlocks the key and the encryption and signing command completes successfully.
