Quite likely, any known GnuTLS bugs of this sort? Don't recall
anything of this ilk in OpenSSL off hand. There's not much Exim
code running mid-hashake, at most just some basic I/O marshalling.
I don't recall seeing similar connections loss before. The server
just hangs up right after the client's key exchange, change cipher
spec and finished messages. Either key agreement is failing, or
there's some network related issue.

The selected ciphersuite is:

    TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 (0xc028)


The server does not request client certificates, so unlikely to
hang-up for lack of same.
