The Linux kernel definitely does not (and barring a NAT router, or
a resume with a different IP, or attempted communication on the link
while you're sleeping, the TCP connection will be faithfully waiting
for us when we resume).

There are different cases at play indeed: gnutls-cli is one, NNTP
(without TLS) is another, and nnimap with libgnutls is yet another.
I think I see similar problems in all three cases, caused by the same
underlying OS-level problem. But since the C and Elisp code that wraps
it is different, the exact behavior will differ (e.g. typically w.r.t
reaction to C-g, possibility of a timeout, ...).
