It seems that we are both right. By adding an `invocationCount` parameter
to the test under question I've found that "sometimes" we get
`SocketException`, and sometimes `SSLHandshakeException`. I've tracked the
problem down to a (theoretical) flaw in the way
`org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory` handles SSL socket connections.
However, it may be that this race is visible only when both ends of the socket
are on the same host, or (as in our test case) within the same process.
