This doesn't look right. If SSL_connect() fails due to an NBIO event
then you should get SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE back. If
you get SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL then something bad happened and you should not
retry. Could you add some logging here? I'm wondering whether you are
ending up here but missing it and looping around again.
