Hi Nikos,

You are right. It turns out that for this bug we were using v 3.1.0
from - ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/gcrypt/gnutls/v3.1/gnutls-3.1.0.tar.lz.
The source code listings I sent you were also from v 3.1.0.

I confirmed that the pathlen constraints are indeed being checked
correctly in v 3.1.9.

Sorry about the confusion. BTW, is it a known bug for v 3.1.0?

Thanks,
Suman
