Could be... Another thing. I've implicitly used gcm_set_iv() as a way to
reset the GCM mode. Unfortunately it is not enough. The auth_size and
data_size have to be set to zero as well. Do you think that should
be done in the set_iv function as well?

I've currently done that in gnutls, and with that change gnutls talks
GCM with others servers.
