Hello Sam,
 I've commited fixes for these issues, so that latest code in git should
not have these issues. All except the last one (quoted). It would be
very helpful to give me some pointers on how to reproduce it.

As far as I understand it should happening when
gnutls_rsa_params_export_raw() is called?

Thank you for all your work!

regards,
Nikos
