Summary: SSLObject breaks read semantics

Initial Comment:
f = socket.ssl(sock)
f.read(n)

doesn't always return n bytes, even if the connection
remains open!  in particular, it seems to reproducibly
return less than n bytes if the read would span the
boundary between units of 16KB of data.

We've had to work around this with code like the following:

        pieces = []
        while n > 0:
            got = self.realfile.read(n)
            if not got:
                break
            pieces.append(got)
            n -= len(got)
        return ''.join(pieces)
