I get failures for the 512 bit ECDSA signatures sometimes:

jas at mocca:~/src/libgcrypt$ tests/benchmark ecc
Algorithm       generate  100*sign  100*verify
----------------------------------------------
ECDSA 192 bit       20ms     450ms       830ms
ECDSA 224 bit       20ms     580ms      1040ms
ECDSA 256 bit       30ms     720ms      1300ms
ECDSA 384 bit       60ms    1620ms      3180ms
ECDSA 521 bit      170ms    4030ms
benchmark: verify failed: Bad signature
jas at mocca:~/src/libgcrypt$

It seems to fail about 25 % of the time or so.  Can you reproduce
this?

I think the support necessary for ECC-TLS is present in libgcrypt now,
so I'll look into integrating it in GnuTLS next.
