Is that minute an inactivity timeout? What if you type another command after
you get the "." back, is it acted upon?

What I suggest you do is go to some other machines with different operating
systems (i.e. TCP/IP stacks) and versions of openssl, and try the same from
there. If you get the same problem, then you've pretty much proved it's a
broken server.

The '.' should indicate 'end of message'. But you might want to open your
transcript file with a text editor to check that it has \r\n.\r\n
(i.e. ^M newline . ^M newline)
