Thanks so much for the hint, Paul. I was able to put together a Docker
image using Ubuntu 16.04 that reproduces the problem. It happens with
the OS packages of libgnutls-dev.

I'll try to put more time into chasing this, since 16.04 is a LTS
release and just requiring a newer GnuTLS will inconvenience users that
compile there. Maybe we'll have to disable AEAD ciphers there, but I
hope to find a better solution. If you have more insight into the
specific breakage, let me know, and I'll post as soon as I have useful
information.

Thanks again
Ted
