Try to add some printfs around the handshaking, and then strace Emacs
while it's doing all this.  GNUTLS_E_INVALID_SESSION is usually the
result of libgnutls losing control of the socket -- something else is
writing or reading from the socket, and that makes the libgnutls state
machine become unsynchronised.

If you see any reads/writes to the sockets outside the handshake section
of the code, you'll have found the culprit.
