I still don't really see what the difference is between SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY on 
or off in non-blocking mode?

The person at [1] seems to have had a similar issue, and was convinced clearing 
SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY fixed it. But I agree, I don't know how it could be. 
OpenSSL would have to remove the O_NONBLOCK, or do select/poll, and I can't 
find it doing that.

I hope it happens again soon and I'm around to attach a debugger.

Regards,

Wiebe
