Hi,
        I've been using the sslswamp tool (which btw is great) to stress apache - and 
once in a while, I keep getting a 'abortive close' with the following message in the 
error_log. Any ideas why this is happening ? 

(on hpux running apache 2.0.48 with worker mpm + openssl 0.9.7c)
[Mon Mar 08 11:56:16 2004] [info] Connection to child 85 established (server 
yuki.cup.hp.com:443, client 15.0.107.44)

It seems strange because the connection got closed before the client sent a hello 
message !
