Hi,

I am a developer and maintainer of the QuickFIX/J project (https://github.com/quickfix-j/quickfixj) and I have a question regarding NioSocketConnectors.

We are facing a problem when there is a process that constantly (every 30 seconds) tries to connect to a counterparty and the connection is established but dropped shortly after. Then sometimes the NioProcessors/NioSocketConnectors are not cleaned up properly. In the stack trace we see them hanging in a call to dispose:

It does not happen very often: about 5% of the connection attempts leave a 
NioSocketConnector hanging.
It only seems to happen though when the connection is disconnected by "javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: SSL handshake failed". Although there are cases when there is no leak even on an SSLHandshakeException. If the connection was reset "normally" by "java.io.IOException: Connection reset by peer" then the leak does not seem to occur. It also does not occur when the connection is refused right away.

Since this seems to be related to SSL connections: is there something that we need to take care of when using the SSL filter?

The code for the IoSessionInitiator can be found here: https://github.com/quickfix-j/quickfixj/blob/master/quickfixj-core/src/main/java/quickfix/mina/initiator/IoSessionInitiator.java I have added some comments in this gist (starting with "chrjohn"): https://gist.github.com/chrjohn/2671f06d80e8d917d9061b573477ec5b

I cannot rule out that we might be doing something wrong here, so any pointer 
is appreciated. :)

Thanks in advance for your help and best regards,
Chris.
