I've just noticed that there's a section of the gnutls manual calling
'Multithreaded programs' which, er, I'd completely missed the first time
through. Which means that I haven't been telling gnutls to set up gcrypt
properly. Mea culpa; sorry.

Presumably I'm only getting this crash when two threads try to do a TLS
handshake at the same time, at exactly the right time to cause gcrypt to step
on its own toes.

I'll fix this and see if the problem goes away.
