Hello,
 The only fundamental that changed between 2.10 and 2.12 is the default
value of lowat to 0. If you were using select() to check for data in
gnutls' buffers you need to check [0]. If this is not your issue I'd
suggest to verify that what you experience persists with 2.12.16 (the
latest in 2.12), and then report again with more information (gnutls
errors codes and/or tcpdump info), as Simon already noted.

[0]. https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107660#comment3
