gnutls-cgi (version 2.8.1) on ubuntu 8.04 crashes

[Sunil P Khatri]

Folks,

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 on a i386. While setting up the 
claws-mail client to use IMAP, I systematically got stream
errors and a failure to connect to the IMAP server.

The fine folks at the claws-mail support team diagnosed 
this as a gnutls bug. I am using 2.8.1, compiled out of the
source tarball. 

Below is a trace to illustrate the problem. The problem 
does not occur if I use SSL.

Best regards,
Sunil
