[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

This issue isn't easy to reproduce because it depends on the network.

gnutls-boot can sometimes go into infinite 100% CPU consummation (looks
like a infinite loop) as shown in this screenshot:

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

C-g cannot stop it. I have left it running for > 15 minutes and no sign
of stopping too.

I know it is gnutls-boot because, I tried:

 - kill -USR2 <pid>
 - killall emacs

and a debug buffer pops up to say that. Unfortunately I was just about
to get a copy of the backtrace and the network was back to normal. But I
think gnutls is doing some funny business. gnutls should kill itself
after some time instead of freeze emacs forever.
