That's because any memory allocated by GnuTLS cannot be freed by Emacs
via 'free' or 'xfree', it needs to be freed by calling 'gnutls_free'
(the GnuTLS manual clearly says that, btw).  That crashes, because on
Windows we use our own implementation of 'free', which uses a
different heap.

Please try the latest master, I tried to fix that.  Also, please tell
which tests specifically crashed/failed for you, I'd like to run them
here.

Thanks.
