Hallo James, please forget the last infos, this backtrace was corrupted, I don't know why. I got a correct backtrace by compiling the original upstream source of 1.6.0 in developer-mode and running gdb with libtool.
The error was thrown from x509_b64.c:449. The reason was very obvious then: My key just starts with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- (no RSA or DSA). After a little research, I found that this could mean it's in PKCS#8 format. Indeed, I could convert it using OpenSSL's pkcs8 module and GnuTLS works fine with the converted RSA key. So the problem is just that GnuTLS doesn't understand keys in PKCS#8 format. Maybe this should get mentioned in README. Greetings, Felix -- | /"\ ASCII Ribbon | Felix M.
