Jamie Strandboge has generated patches for older versions of gnutls and posted them in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnutls-devel/2009-08/msg00065.html The patch for 2.4.x applies cleanly to the lenny release and seems to fix the issue. - None of these apply to the etch-version, though. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
