Thanks, it really helped.  It turned out that there was a bug in session
ID handling of my previous patch.

Yes, it was the immediate cause.  If a client reuses previous session
ID, s_server returns empty session ID and behaves as if it is resumed
(this might be a bug of OpenSSL).

When I changed _gnutls_recv_new_session_ticket to generate new session
ID, it started to work.  I attach the new patch, which includes:

* Adaption for gnutls-cli/gnutls-serv.

  Session ticket support is enabled by default, while it can be disabled
  by --noticket option.  You can test the interoperability with:

  $ gnutls-serv -p 10000 --nodb --x509cafile x509-ca.pem \
    --x509keyfile x509-server-key.pem --x509certfile x509-server.pem
  $ openssl s_client -connect localhost:10000 -reconnect

  and

  $ openssl s_server -accept 10000 -CAfile x509-ca.pem \
    -key x509-server-key.pem -cert x509-server.pem
  $ gnutls-cli -p 10000 --resume localhost

* New interface functions as you suggested.

  int gnutls_session_ticket_allocate_key (gnutls_session_ticket_key_t *);
  int gnutls_session_ticket_randomize (gnutls_session_ticket_key_t);
  int gnutls_session_ticket_import (gnutls_session_t, void *, size_t);
  int gnutls_session_ticket_export (gnutls_session_t, void *, size_t *);
