Yes that's what I observed as well.  But also that GnuTLS returns -10
GNUTLS_E_INVALID_SESSION for some of the connections quite early.

Interestingly, I had the impression that it behaves better if the
subsequent handshakes are triggered only after the socket is connected.
But that may be by chance.  And could therefore be a red herring.
