It *could* be used as byte-count parameter for network reads
if it wasn't for some horrible bugs in s23_get_client_hello (the
problem occurs for servers that accept cient hellos for SSL3/TLS in the
SSL2 compatible format -- if the second attempt of reading from the
network fails, that function cannot be properly restarted; a fix is on 
the way).
