Hi Cliff,
	If I replace the APR_NONBLOCK_READ with APR_BLOCK_READ, the process
just blocks (on read) till I close the client (browser). The output logs is
something like below :

Connection to child 0 established (server jolteon:9443)
OpenSSL: Handshake: start
OpenSSL: Handshake: done
ssl_filter_Output : entry
ssl_filter_Output : APR_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH
Entered Churn ()
ssl_filter_Output : APR_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH 20514   (APR_EOF)
=========> Certificate window pops up on the browser, and I select OK
Connection to child 1 established (server jolteon:9443)
OpenSSL: Handshake: start
OpenSSL: Handshake: done
ssl_filter_Output : entry
ssl_filter_Output : APR_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH
Entered Churn ()
=========> The server is in a block read state now, and I Close the browser
SSLStateMachine_read_extract: After read 0 [1024]
Entered churn_output ()
Returning from churn_output ()
Returning from Churn ()
ssl_filter_Output : APR_BUCKET_IS_FLUSH 20514   (APR_EOF)
