Hey,

I took a look at your sample code a few days ago and
nothing struck me as being the cause of this behavior.
I just took another look and it still seems like this
shouldn't be happening, although I noticed a few other
miscellaneous problems with the Twisted client (none
would manifest until it managed to get further than it
does, though).

Next I did a capture with ethereal and I noticed that
the server is actually sending back unencrypted bytes
in response to 0 + _CMD.  It's not clear why it would
reliably do this for the Twisted client and not for the
version which directly uses OpenSSL, unless it is somehow
timing related.

I suppose at this point I'd check into the server's
behavior to verify this observation and try to determine
why it is behaving this way.
