Comment 32 for bug 116066

OK,
the reason for this bug is in the routines of the ddclient perl script that set the default values for the options.
In this case the timeout for the ssl connection is set to 0 which gives the above error on Gutsy.
I have not tested what is the effect of the other default values that are set in ddclient but this should be changed as a whole (maybe the author of the app should be notified too).
A workaround for all this is:
1. set a timeout value either in the ddclient.conf file or on the command line
2. apply the patch i upload here to the ddclient script (patch -p0 < ddclient.patch)

The easier and safer way is number 1 ;)
