The telnet client will report that the remote end has dropped the
connection under two circumstances. One, when trying to send data, if
the write return the right error code. And two, upon receiving a
SIGPIPE. These two conditions should be true whether or not the telnet
is waiting for the encryption negotiation to finish. What platform were
you having the problem on? Could this be a problem with the platform
not sending a SIGPIPE when the connection dropped?
