[sslh] ssh protocol and server-starting

Does anything in the SSH RFCs actually require the client to wait for
the server to start sending first once the socket is connected?

dbclient from dropbear doesn't seem to, so sslh sends it to SSL which
then fails. I'm patching it, but it will make dropbear slightly
larger, so I anticipate resistance.  I looked at the RFCs but couldn't
actually see why it could be called a bug for sure.

It's a great tool apart from this small problem, though.

Thanks for any help,
