 > Ok, I applied the patch to Gentoo's 2.5.6 pidgin version and used
 gnutls-2.8.1.

 Thanks! Could you also generate a similar bug but using gnutls-2.6.x?
 I.e., one that works for you. It helps to compare the logs.

 Unfortunately I don't recognize this type of error -- it seems the
 handshake works fine, and even sending quite some data, but after a while
 it fails with a bad MAC error.

 I know it is boring work, but maybe you could try experimental releases
 gnutls 2.7.x to see where the problem is introduced. Install 2.6.x, check
 if it works, install 2.8.x confirm that it fails, install 2.7.y and check
 if it works, and increment y until you run into a problem. I'd expect the
 problem to be 0 =< y =< 8, so if you want to do a binary search instead,
 test 8 first to rule out a problem with the later 2.7.y's, and then 2.7.4.
 Just reporting this result will help me inspect code changes.
