Although I cannot reproduce it, I think I know what can be the reason for
this. I've recently fixed the SSL close notify alert, but followed an advice
by Eric Young where I don't wait for receiving the client's close notify. The
reason has to do with an endless waiting loop in theory.
Try the following: delete line 440 in ssl_engine_kernel.c (it reads
``SSL_set_shutdown(ssl, SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN);''), then recompile and test
again. When it then works, the I/O error you get is actually some kind of
``SSL procotol message out of sync'' error.
