Description
Hi,
I'm trying to generate a new pgp key using keybase pgp gen --multi
$ keybase pgp gen --multi
Enter your real name, which will be publicly visible in your new key: Ben Hardill
Enter a public email address for your key: xxxxx@gmail.com
Enter another email address (or <enter> when done):
Push an encrypted copy of your new secret key to the Keybase.io server? [Y/n] n
I then get nothing more, I've left it for a good 10mins and still nothing. I've ended up killing it with crtl-c
Running on Fedora 23 x86_64
keybase version 1.0.17-20160812160036+d206db9

Research direction
Start by reproducing keybase pgp gen --multi on the reported Fedora 23 x86_64 environment and trace the command after the final email prompt. Check where key generation stops and compare the behavior with the reported Keybase version 1.0.17; done means the command completes and creates the requested PGP key instead of hanging.
