[gnutls-dev] gnutls 1.7.17 and greater do not work with mutt anymore

[Andreas Metzler]

Hello,

This is <http://bugs.debian.org/439640>.

gnutls 1.7.17 broke mutt's usage of Gnutls. It is easy to reproduce,
just use

mutt -R -f imaps://imap.gmx.net/INBOX

and choose accept (o)nce on the Certificate check.

The patch below seems to have *triggered* it, reverting it makes
1.7.1[78] work. The 1mio$question is probably what causes an unknown
error (code seems to be 21) in the first place.

   * lib/gnutls_errors.c: (gnutls_error_is_fatal): Return default is 1 for
     unknown error codes.
