Thanks for the report.  How reproducible is this?  Can you try
libgnutls26 from testing?

If it is reproducible with the latest version, please try 'gnutls-cli -d
4711' against the server and send the same IMAP commands that mutt did,
and post the final part of the debug output.

It could be a server disconnecting you, or a firewall messing with the
traffic.  Possibly the server could be trying to re-handshake as well,
and there is some bug.
