Summary: SSL in non-blocking mode

Initial Comment:
There is a memory leak when you use SSL sockets in
Non-blocking mode.

The fix that works for me:
In socketmodule.c, in function SSL_SSLRead()
Add a  Py_DECREF(buf); to the default in the switch
statement.

Below is the code to change...

Change the switch statement from:

switch (res) {
	case SSL_ERROR_NONE:
		assert(count > 0);
		break;
	case SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN: /* normal EOF */
		assert(count == 0);
		break;
	default:
          return PyErr_SetFromErrno(SSLErrorObject);
	}


To


switch (res) {
	case SSL_ERROR_NONE:
		assert(count > 0);
		break;
	case SSL_ERROR_ZERO_RETURN: /* normal EOF */
		assert(count == 0);
		break;
	default:
          Py_DECREF(buf);
          return PyErr_SetFromErrno(SSLErrorObject);
	}

Note the Py_DECREF(buf);  in the default case
