Unlikely. The signature files are not evaluated as lisp files. I
think (like Kai), that either there is a --=-=-= in randomsig.el[1],
or that string is in any file loaded/required from randomsig.el.

Hmm..., the only library required is cl, and I think it's *really*
unlikely, that cl is damaged[2].

@Michael:
Could you please check with M-x locate-library RET randomsig RET, if
the right randomsig is found, and it doesn't contain --=-=-=?

Best regards,

[1]  which probably means, you use an old version, because I last
     used a mime attachment in version 0.6.0 in gnu.emacs.sources
