Hello Peter,

thank you for the assistance. Would you mind testing the code I intend
to try to get into stable? Source is available in the GIT repo
(git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-gnutls/gnutls.git branch gnutls28_jessie)
binaries on <https://people.debian.org/~ametzler/gnutls-jessie/>.

tia, cu Andreas
