[stunnel-users] Stunnel client hangs in background mode when smartcard is used

Hi!
I have a problem when running ssh over stunnel in background mode
('foreground' out-commented in config file). In foreground mode, everything
works fine. I'm using a modified OpenSSL, adding an engine that is dedicated
to communicate with a smartcard reader.

The scenario is:
- Starting stunnel on server, extract from config file:
[ssh]
accept = myserver:122
connect = 22

- Starting stunnel on client, extract from config file:
engine = myengine
engineNum = 1
 client = yes
[ssh]
accept = 22
connect = myserver:122

I come to here, than it hangs:
...
2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read
server certificate A
2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read
server certificate request A
2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read
server done A
2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write
client certificate A
2009.06.08 15:08:22 LOG7[472:3054680976]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write
client key exchange A

- - - - - - -
But when I run in foreground mode, it all works fine and stunnel continues
and I get the ssh login prompt.


 I'm running RHEL 5.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8*, stunnel 4.27

Any help would be appreciated
