[issue1469] SSL tests leak memory

[Bill Janssen]

Bill Janssen added the comment:

I'm still not sure what the problem is.  This code was working fine when I
committed it, no leaks, so something else must have changed under the
covers.  I don't believe that adding GC to the C code is the answer; it
should be automatically GC'd.  So I'd back that patch out.

I intend to wolf-fence the tests in the test module until I find a single
test that causes the leaks.  Sorry I haven't had time to look at this
earlier, but we're in the middle of a big presentation afternoon here at
work.
