That was pretty much the response I expected.  But when filing such a bug 
report one always hopes that the maintainer or upstream developer will have 
some secret knowledge that allows an easy fix.

Is GNUTLS any better in this regard?  I won't rule out the possibility of 
submitting a patch to replace openssl with gnutls if you would be willing to 
accept it.  NB I'm not making any commitment to write such a patch, I'm 
overloaded at the moment and most things I want to do don't get done.
