This appears to be a java issue.

The attached java file implements the same series of java calls as the
jython test_rude_shutdown; the test hangs on the
ssl_socket.startHandshake().

This happens regardless if the socket was created with java.nio (as the
jython socket module does) or with java.net (sometimes the socket
creation method can affect later behaviour).

Given that this bug can be recreated with pure java equivalent to the
failing jython, it is likely that this is a java bug.

If it is a bug at all; I'm a little dubious about an SSL client
handshaking with a non-SSL server socket. But if the test passes on
cpython, then it is obviously a valid thing to do, on some platforms at
least.

I'd like to do a little more reading before raising a bug with Sun about
this. Meantime, all thoughts and opinions welcome.

BTW, I tested this on Ubuntu and Sun JDK 1.5.0_13. Will test on other
platforms also.
