I don't know for sure, but it looks like something corrupted the data
structures that GnuTLS uses in each process and you noticed when the
process was destroyed (at that time, the data structures were already
invalid).

Can you replicate this?  It looks tricky, since you had an inactive TLS
connection in a process, if I'm reading the dump correctly.  Raising
`gnutls-log-level' *may* be useful, if you can replicate.
