If the qio_channel_tls_new_(server|client) methods fail, we disconnect the client. Unfortunately a missing return means we then go on to try and run the TLS handshake on a NULL I/O channel. This gives predictably segfaulty results.
The main way to trigger this is to request a bogus TLS priority string for the TLS credentials. e.g. -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,priority=wibble,... Most other ways appear impossible to trigger except perhaps if OOM conditions cause gnutls initialization to fail. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
