As upstream is unwilling to fix this and the calling
gnutls_global_set_mutex isn't really necessary, how about patching this
in the debian package?
Thanks for the followup. Yes, fixing it as a Debian patch is probably
the best path for now, and maybe trying upstream again at a later date.
To a certain extent it's easier here because we have a more homogeneous
platform than upstream does.
I never did get around to re-asking GnuTLS upstream about adding a
workaround on their end, but I suspect there's no point; after all
libldap is doing the very things their documentation explicitly says a
library should never do.
