What steps will reproduce the problem?
If possible, include a link to a program on play.golang.org.

    You could try (I haven't):
        1. Sending bytes, from a crypto/tls.Conn, to a server that uses OpenSSL and watching the log.

    Or:
        1. Install postgres 9.1.3 with SSL support (run on default ip/port)
            http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/ssl-tcp.html
        2. Create a database and a user, both called 'pqgotest'
        3. Run `go test` for https://github.com/bmizerany/pq
        4. See "SSL error: SSL error code 336151528" in postgres log (explained below)

What is the expected output?
    Not an error.

What do you see instead?
    In postgres log: "SSL error: SSL error code 336151528"

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?
    $ go tool
    6a
    6c
    6g
    6l
    ...

Which operating system are you using?
    $ uname -a
    Darwin Blakes-MacBook-Air.local 11.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.3.0: Thu Jan 12 18:47:41 PST 2012; root:xnu-1699.24.23~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64


Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')
    $ go version
    go version weekly.2012-03-13 +a2a95054f3bd

Please provide any additional information below.
    I started with:
    https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mailing.openssl.users/o6G1X1FedkE/discussion

    With that response, I learned Nginx issues with this same error:
    http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/140712
    The authors imply it's their fault at the end, not OpenSSL.

    I am unable to reproduce in portgres with the `psql` client with SSL on.

    This leads me to believe `if c.handshakeComplete {` in tls.Conn.Close is incorrectly yielding `true`.

    My apologies for not being very helpful. I don't understood TLS enough too.
    If there is anything else I can do to help, I'm loaded and ready.
