and got the answer from Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos <[e-mail]> :


Hello Toralf,
 You can ignore this error. It is a memory leak when running a shell
script in your system, which has nothing to do with gnutls.

Looks somewhere between libnss and your libc.

Now I'm wondering why and where the crash occurred and for what ?? stands for.

Reproducible: Always

Please try again with a system built with -ggdb and FEATURES=strict if you want.. although I'd honestly just disable valgrind myself.

[Comment 2 Toralf Förster 2012-06-17 13:48:47 UTC]

well, I switched away from using gnutls 3.x - this bug might be closed eventually
