I am still a bit confused concerning a "reasonable minimal value"
for gnutls-min-prime-bits.  Is 256 a value that I can feel
comfortable about?

Since this was made the default, I did not see again any error
messages.  But I cannot judge whether this means "all is OK".

Part of the problem is certainly that most users do not even know
that there is such a customizable user variable.  So one can only
hope that the default *is* reasonable.
