Regarding GnuTLS, I assume Pjotr is describing the failure of the
"name-constraints" test [0].

Unfortunately, GnuTLS used a certificate in one of their tests without
taking care to handle its expiration date, so now the certificate has
expired. It looks like a mistake. Other test certificates in their test
suite are guarded against this, and they have committed a fix.

At least we have the substitute.

I would be interested to see the Subversion test failure.
