It does not crash. It throws an exception.

In a sample code it is OK to just ignore the exceptional case and let
the server terminate.

In a real server you will want to catch the exception so that the
server continues to run:

begin
  socket = server.accep
  <work with socket>
rescue SSLError => ex
  STDERR. puts ex.inspect
end
