Can you reproduce this problem with the latest versions? It doesn't make
sense to hunt bugs already fixed.

There are special problem when using "upgrade" certificates (certificates
that are used to first open an "export" class connection, then switching to
full strength cryptography).
Do you have such a certificate?

The 'STOP-Button' hint is just a guess. Fact is, that it is the client
shutting down the connection for whatever reason.
