GnuTLS versions 2.9.7 and later breaks libsoup (epiphany)

[Andreas Metzler]

Hello,

this is http://bugs.debian.org/576339

With GnuTLS versions 2.9.7 and later epiphany is unable to load https
sites. Reproducing this is very easy on Debian/unstable
(+experimental)

sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser
sudo apt-get install libgnutls26=2.9.11-1
epiphany-browser https://db.debian.org/

epiphany simply gets stuck, resending the same request again and
again. GnuTLS 2.9.6 and earlier (including 2.8.x) are fine.
