That seems like either a GnuTLS or an Xubuntu 16.04 issue. Since I can't
replicate it, I have to ask you to try to understand why it fails for
you but not for anyone else (to my knowledge). It may require talking to
the respective developers.

The GnuTLS version would be a good start, in case anyone with the same
version can give it a try. I am running 3.3.15 without this issue.

Thanks!
Ted
