Because it was an accident. I missed this one when merging.
Let me take a look at this tomorrow.

I've raised this issue before, but there was little interest in solving it -
glad to see this has got some traction.
I believe libraries like NSS are reference counted and initialise themselves
sensibly. Not sure about the behaviour of openssl, however the openssl people
should be able to explain what people should be doing.
