Bug in gnutls breaking Pidgin Jabber support

Hello.

As described in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273756
gnutls-2.8.0 and gnutls-2.8.1 break Jabber support in the instant
messenger Pidgin.

The Jabber support always tries connecting securely in Jabber services
which works flawlessly with gnutls-2.6.6. With 2.8.0 or 2.8.1 the client
connects but the connection breaks down almost instantly. The error
messages look like this:

(21:19:23) jabber: Found bytestream proxy server: proxy.eu.jabber.org
(21:19:23) jabber: Sending (ssl): <iq type='get' id='purpleb77e8230'
to='proxy.eu.jabber.org'><query
xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/bytestreams'/></iq>
(21:19:23) jabber: xmlParseChunk returned warning 100
(21:19:23) util: Writing file accounts.xml to directory /home/tante/.purple
(21:19:23) util: Writing file /home/tante/.purple/accounts.xml
(21:19:24) gnutls: receive failed: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
(21:19:24) jabber: Disconnected: Input/output error

Recompiling pidgin does not help, just downgrading gnutls.

I'm posting this here since the Gentoo developer in charge of the package 
(Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis) asked me to, if you need any extra 
information please ask and I'll try to supply the required information.

Regards,

Jürgen Geuter
