I was a bit confused by the line

    for (;; first_line = 0) {

at first, but the explanation of 'continue's make sense for this pattern.
However I'd rather prefer if we'd have

    int first_line = 1;
    for(;;) {
        ... // stuff with no continue here
        if (len < 0)
            die_initial_contact(!first_line);
        first_line = 0;
        ... // here we may have some continues, but that doesn't matter
        // w.r.t. first_line
    }
