I think that I see what is wrong with your flow... you haven't taken the
packet off the original socket, so SSL_accept is still looking for it.

The flow is supposed to be:
    1) client sends ClientHello
    
    2) DTLSv1_listen() sees it, and sends a HelloVerifyRequest
       (I assume you have filled in the cookie callbacks. I think that
       perhaps there should be good cryptographic defaults available in
       the library.  Maybe there are, and I'm ignorant of them)
       
    3) Client sends ClientHello w/cookie.
       DTLSv1_listen() then sees that and tweaks the SSL* to indicate that
       the cookie has been accepted.  Note that the packet is *LEFT*
       on the incoming socket so that SSL_accept() can process it.
       This is one the places where the DTLSv1_listen() API is rather
       hard to use in my opinion.

    4) You make up new sockets, etc.
    5) But, you need to call SSL_accept() once with the **old socket** to
       process packet that listen() left on it, and then you can switch the
       FD over!  Of course, you probably want to make sure that SSL_accept()
       sends the reply correctly.

What I do in my proposed DTLSv1_accept() API is that I move the data
From the incoming socket to the new BIO's incoming queue:
https://github.com/mcr/openssl/blob/dtls-listen-refactor/ssl/d1_lib.c#L964

    /* At this point, there is a real ClientHello in serv->init_buf */
    memcpy(rb->buf, serv->init_buf->data, serv->init_num);
    rb->offset = 0;
    rb->left   = serv->init_num;

and then remove the packet from the incoming socket.  The situation is
then returned like this so that the new sockets can be setup, but the
incoming SSL_accept() BIO is stuffed with the correct (cookie-full)
ClientHello, and replies will go to the right place with the right source
address.  I hope to get these patches accepted for the March 11 freeze,
but you might not want to depend upon it.
