This patch seems reasonable. I looked at the implementation in OpenSSL (1.0.0d)
and it looks like using SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS should not cause any problems.

Hiroshi, what do you think?

Martin

Excellent result. It looks like a gift from Tor project. There's no reason I can imagine not to apply this. Please apply this.

I think it's OK to commit this w/o writing a test. :)
