Hello,
I forward this bug report. It seems like a bug to exit()... I don't know if
there are possible alternatives there though.

Another question:
Libcrypt use exit() in functions.

The function

> gnutls_x509_privkey_generate (key, key_type, bits, 0)

does not return any value because libcrypt function use exit(). For this
reason a program that have this function can not known which is the problem.
For example if

> gnutls_global_init();

is not called before.
