Thanks to you two for the investigation; I've brought the issue back
"up" to CUPS's bugtracker, where Michael Sweet wrote on
https://www.cups.org/str.php?L4484 :

It appears there's a disagreement between CUPS and GnuTLS on how the
file descriptors should be managed. It would be nice if one of you could
have the conversation with Michael directly on the CUSP tracker, without
me playing the messenger.
Nikos: would that be imaginable?
TIA, cheers,
OdyX
