Thanks for the report.  Are these failures consistent with any
particular web servers?  If the web server in question that is causing
the error is on the public internet, could you identify it specifically?

Barring that, could you try running gnutls-cli to get more detailed
debugging output?

Do you know what priority string vimprobable2 is using with GnuTLS?
