Summary: Setting a socket timeout breaks SSL

Initial Comment:
Hi,

Bug #1153016 implies that this problem was fixed in 2.3
and is a regression in 2.4, however in 

2.3.5 (#2, Aug 30 2005, 15:50:26)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050821 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.1-6)]

I'm able to do this:

import smtplib
s = smtplib.SMTP("localhost")
s.sock.settimeout(5)
s.starttls()
s.helo("localhost")

and get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/smtplib.py", line 379, in helo
    (code,msg)=self.getreply()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/smtplib.py", line 344, in
getreply
    line = self.file.readline()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/smtplib.py", line 159, in
readline
    chr = self.sslobj.read(1)
socket.sslerror: The read operation timed out

I expect this won't be limited to just smtplib.

I'm new to Python, and to the Python project, so I'm
still trying to grapple with SF's bug tracking system
and source code repository, so I haven't been able to
do a thorough analysis of the problem because I can't
find my way around terribly well. Is Python 2.3 still
even maintained?

Also, this is fixed in 2.5, see bug 1380952.

Python 2.3 is not maintained anymore, so closing this as
"won't fix".
