Sorry, that link was wrong.  For the 2.6.x branch the proper link is:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnutls.git;a=commitdiff;h=423fc8b82f2b9aa3ea820cd5cf75d5813dffbbf0

Please test the patch and confirm whether or not it works for you.  I
think we should do a new 2.6.x release to deal with this.

The latest daily build contains all fixes, so everyone, please test this
as if it were a new 2.6.x release:

http://daily.josefsson.org/gnutls-2.6/gnutls-2.6-20090109.tar.gz

It is a good time to raise other problems with 2.6.x now.

Thanks,
