Platform : Debian GNU/Linux Unstable  
Ruby version: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [i486-linux]

## here is the sample code:

require ‘openssl’  
require ‘socket’

socket = TCPSocket.new(“[talk.google.com](http://talk.google.com)”, 5223)  
ctx = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new(‘TLSv1’)

sslsocket = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(socket, ctx)

begin  
puts “Start connect”  
sslsocket.connect  
rescue OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError =\> ssle  
puts “------------------#{ssle.message}---------------”  
end

## puts “finished”

it fails to connect with message:

SSL\_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server hello A

while the sample code runs pretty ok on windows with ruby stable  
version.
