[openssl.org #624] [BUG] SMIME decrypt fails when encrypted file size is 9383 bytes

[Stephen Henson via RT]

I've tried this on the latest 0.9.7-stable version and it fails with a
base64 decoding error.

The cause is that the base64 BIO is rather broken as I discovered when I
attempted to run some exhaustive non-blocking I/O tests on it a while ago. 

Since the changes were quite extensive, it could break other things like
PEM if I got it wrong, it only seemed to affect non blocking I/O and no
one else appeared to have noticed I didn't commit the fixes to the
stable tree. 

However now that it does affect blocking I/O and someone has noticed :-)
I've got a good reason to fix the stable version too.

If you don't want to wait until the next snapshot you can just copy
bio_b64.c from the 0.9.8-dev version to 0.9.7b.

Steve.

I just made a test with the given files, using 0.9.8-dev on Solaris
(Solaris 8, OpenSSL compiled with gcc).  No problems with it...
