There's two fixes in this patch, right? As far as the support for
SSLv2Hello goes, I really hope it becomes a 1-line fix (adding the right
system property at startup). As it is, 'probing' and threading and
blocking and thread-sleeping are all making me rather uncomfortable with
how much is going on globally. The less isolation there is between
threads and (in general) state, the less it's obvious what's going on
and the harder it becomes to debug anything.

Thanks,
Omair
