Hmm.

I'm running the debian package 0.99.7-2.  If I turn off SSL, and allow
plaintext, I can log in.  If I turn SSL on (comment out ssl_diable =
yes), then I can't.  It was working in 0.99.6, I know.

Same situation using 0.99.7-1 alpha (it takes longer for alpha builds to
make it into debian).

I can provide more information, as necessary.  All that's logged is
"disconnected for inactivity".  Monitoring via tcpdump doesn't seem too
useful, given that TLS is negotiated.

Amy!
