No, I haven't tried ssldump.  What is it?  Is it a utility?  A build option?
A function that I can call?  What's it do?

I don't know :-)

The error you hit is not very informative, indeed. It is flagged when
the handhake_func returns 0 (but not a negative value to indicate
error!?). I would therefore _guess_ that the peer has closed the connection.
Did you try ssldump?
