[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#551155: Bug#551155: libssl0.9.8: New Segmentation Fault after installing starttls when signing into emacs-jabber in Lenny

[RISKO Gergely]

You want to customize starttls-use-gnutls.

If this variable is 't, then it will use gnutls, otherwise it will try
starttls.

Before your jabber connect do:
 (setq starttls-use-gnutls 't)

In your gnus thingie do:
 (setq starttls-use-gnutls nil)

Anyway, you should use gnutls-cli for gnus too, since it actually checks
the certificates, not like starttls.
