[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Thanks John for the detailed analysis. Windows Update reports my system is
up to date. As I understand it:

1. My certificate store is valid.
2. Savannah's HTTPS responses are valid.
3. Emacs 27.2 per se's behavior is valid.
4. GnuTLS 3.6.12 has a bug that produces incorrect results even in presence
of 1-2.
5. Emacs 27.2 Windows binaries from ftp.gnu.org include GnuTLS 3.6.12,
which has this bug.

The Emacs 28 pretest Windows binaries from earlier in the year include GnuTLS
3.6.15. I hope this means everything will work as expected on the final
Emacs 28.1 Windows binaries.
