+Subject: [PATCH] Fix memory leak on (Gnu)TLS close.
+
+This leak doesn't show up under normal operation, as the process
+normally dies right after closing the session.
+
+But during callout repetitive TLS sessions are opened and closed from
+the same process (the process receiving the message). Depending on
+the amount of RAM and the number of callouts the same process does,
+this may be a problem. (On an amd64 machine with 4GB RAM, at about 1000
+recipients the memory is exhausted.)
+
+(cherry picked from commit ed62aae3051c9a713d35c8ae516fbd193d1401ba)
