[Pkg-exim4-users] TLS error

I've just noticed that for at least the last 4 days my logs show errors
like
2008-04-24 09:48:46 TLS error on connection from upstrm185.psg-ucsf.org
(iron.psg.net) [38.99.193.74] (gnutls_handshake): A TLS packet with
unexpected length was received.

This is on my machine receiving a connection from another machine I also
control.  Both are running exim4-daemon-heavy 4.69-2+b1.

Right now, 
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
160
on the sender machine and 3598 here.  I guess the former is quite low.

I see there are a bunch of bugs about this kind of problem, though none
I've looked at involve exim talking to exim.

Does this error imply that the corresponding message transmissions were
not encrypted?  That they didn't take place at all?

Second, is there anything I can or should do either to correct this, add
on to some bug, or help diagnose it?

Thanks.
Ross
