The man pages have this description for SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL:

 SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL
 Some non-recoverable, fatal I/O error occurred. The OpenSSL error queue may
 contain more information on the error. For socket I/O on Unix systems, consult
 errno for details. If this error occurs then no further I/O operations should
 be performed on the connection and SSL_shutdown() must not be called.

 This value can also be returned for other errors, check the error queue for
 details.

So I'd suggest you check errno in such a scenario.
