[ I forgot to mention that the same client and a server not running
  via inetd work fine. }

Just tinkered with the existing client/server code:

   1. used higher level ssl_read_all and ssl_write_all calls   
   2. commented out client shutdown call

Result debug:

  wrote to server: 'This is a test message from the client'
  write_all VM at entry=vm_unknown
  written so far 38:38 bytes (VM=vm_unknown)
  client read...
  SSL_read 8801: 1 - error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version
                     number
  server replied:
  client teardown..   



Any ideas/suggestions appreciated.
