Sorry, but I do not get the purpose of this patch.
Why reading from our *client* (regardless if it is SSL or not)
when the backend is SSL?

The original flaw, maybe long gone, is that mod_ssl implementation was
pull; on first read handshake would occur.  The INIT blocking-flag was
added when Doug (IIRC) noted that mod_ftp couldn't simply write to the
client, the handshake wouldn't run properly.

INIT let us do an initial pull from the client of nothing, soliciting
the SSL handshake before Ftp Welcome.

I guess I can replicate the issue by sending a echod Welcome string before
soliciting the first line of text; this should prove up if ssl still needs
the init flag.
