Hello,

You seem to be right. Increasing both instances of
gnutls_handshake_set_timeout to 40 lets the test succeed. On the
specific machine I tested on the fail/nonfail border is at about 26
(25.8 fails, 25.9 succeeds), so 40 should give a margin of error. I will
upload a patched version to the Debian buildds and report results.
