[sslh] forwarding xmpp traffic to ssh

I've got a weird issue, my xmpp connection is forwarded to the ssh port most 
of the time.

I run:
sslh -v -f -p  0.0.0.0:443 --xmpp 127.0.0.1:5222 --ssh 127.0.0.1:22

Which gives me:

ssh addr: localhost:ssh. libwrap service: sshd family 2 2
xmpp addr: localhost:xmpp-client. libwrap service: (null) family 2 2
listening on:
         0.0.0.0:https
timeout to ssh: 2
listening to 1 addresses
turning into nobody
sslh-fork v1.10 started
accepted fd 5
**** writing defered on fd -1
connecting to localhost:ssh family 2 len 16
connection from somehost.example.com:13087 to home.xxxx.com:https forwarded 
from localhost:40796 to localhost:ssh


sslh is running on Fedora
the xmpp client is pidgin running on windows.
Once in a while it recognises the xmpp traffic correctly and forwards to 5222, 
but 9 out of 10 times, it forwards it to ssh.
