[Pkg-gnutls-maint] Bug#386530: sits waiting for server reponse in socket_bye

Package: gnutls-bin
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream

Some servers (e.g. IIS) don't send a reply to gnutls_bye's close request.  This
causes socket_bye to sit waiting for input from peer that never comes.

Since socket_bye is going to close the connection, we don't need to wait for
it anyway.  My attached patch replaces GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR with GNUTLS_SHUT_WR,
which seems to archieve that.

Note: this patch has already been sent to upstream (bug-gnutls at gnu.org)
