I didn't find a SSL_readn in the source. Stack traces however may get
corrupted e.g. by buffer overruns.
Losing the connection is a standard problem for all network applications
this also includes openssl based applications. If the connection is closed
prematurely, SSL_read returns with a return value indicating the error
condition, so that you can use SSL_get_error to analyze the problem.
I would rather guess that there is something wrong in your application.
