[erlang-questions] SSL/TLS renegotiation crash triggered by setopts

[Florian Waas]

Hi,
Reading from a Postgres server tls_connection's gen_fsm crashes on me
during TLS renegotiation with below error report (small snippet of
most relevant parts only due to size).

I'm setting the socket into {active, once} after each packet; the
server kicks off renegotiation every 512MB. Looks like the problem
occurs when setopts is called during renegotiation. When hammering the
system I hit it pretty much every time the server renegotiates --
happens in both R15 and R16.

Quick hack in tls_connection.erl:995 to allow the transition from
'connection' to 'hello' in handle_sync_event instead of insisting that
setopts doesn't change states gets me out of this pickle...


Anybody seen this problem? Clean(er) workarounds available?

Thanks,
-fl.
