Thanks for creating a separate ticket for this. Now that I re-read your description, I think this is the same problem as #906 (sorry...).

If that is the case, this has been resolved as part of that ticket. Could you maybe re-test this with current master or release/2.4 ?

Replying to syzzer:

Thanks for creating a separate ticket for this. Now that I re-read your description, I think this is the same problem as #906 (sorry...).

No problem ;-)

Testing confirms the problem still exists.
(using fully up-to-date binary)

Method:

Start default settings server and client with cipher negotiation enabled.

Connection established and cipher negotiated to AES-256-GCM

Edit server.conf enable --ncp-disable (disable cipher negotiation)

Restart server (kill -1 $server.pid)

Watch the implosion ;-)

Notes:

--proto tcp
Time is slightly out of sync between srv & cli but these logs are real
Full logs appended as attachments

This is slightly different to the original email as --cipher is not defined
in either config so BF-CBC is used by default.

I think this has been fixed, though I'm not going to find and link the other two tickets related to "pushed options are not properly reset on reconnecting".
