Sorry, I don't know how you can be sure of the library loaded in
Windows.  Did you put the DLL in the same directory?

Are you able to debug the Emacs executable?  I don't know if the build
you're using includes the necessary symbols, but a backtrace with at
least function names would be extremely helpful to figure this out.

Does the problem occur to any server or just the one you listed?  You
can test with

 (open-gnutls-stream "tls" "tls-buffer" "imap.gmail.com" "imaps")

It's strange that there's been no other reports of this issue.  Do you
have access to any other systems where you can test?
