Please read through bug#11267 and bug#15057. The recommended solution
from the GnuTLS maintainer was to avoid the DH exchange that requires
`gnutls-min-prime-bits' altogether. So the proper fix seems to be to
change the default for `gnutls-algorithm-priority' but that may break
some people's setups (just like raising `gnutls-min-prime-bits' would).
