This is because of a "time bomb" in GnuTLS:

  https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/967

It was fixed in 3.6.14.  I worked around it for now by making
'gnutls-dane' inherit from a newer version in commit
7177411c34be42aa1c539f462f0de191c74a5913.

We'll do an 'ungrafting round' shortly so that we can fix this in GnuTLS
proper.
