I'm now working on pycurl 7.19.5 for Debian and I was looking at porting
over as much of the Ubuntu delta as possible.  I think the patch for
this is no longer necessary, but it's difficult for me to test because I
also no longer have an i386 machine on which to test.  Note though that
we are now linking against gnutls 2.8, so if the suspicion is that the
bug is in gnutls 2.6, maybe it's fixed in 2.8 and pycurl won't be
subject to the bug.

In any case, I am not going to back port this fix, so we'll have to see
if anybody reports a bug once the package is pulled into Ubuntu.

  I have tried a purge and install but it doesn't fix this.

  No idea how to work around this.
