There is strong evidence that flash only depends on gnutls indirectly
via libcurl. If you haven't built libcurl against gnutls, this doesn't
show up. And libcurl is dynloaded, so ldd won't list it.

Please follow the bug reports I mentioned; a lot of people are quite
busy there, gathering evidence, discussing possibilities, stuff like
that. I ruled out concurrent initialization in a comment there.

In the meantime, I'm trying to get a proper git bisect running. I'm not
sure if I can do this, as the problem is difficult to trace. But when
running FF through valgrind and accessing the flash on
http://data.ndr.de/mv2009/index.html I just had a 100% rate to reproduce
at least some kind of error, mostly a segfault at application shutdown,
with gnutls 2.8.0, whereas 2.6.6 worked all right. I'll try to reproduce
this with gnutls built from git, and bisect the changes in between.

Greetings,
 Martin
