Hmm. I wrote the manual page and I am somehow convinced that it is
correct. Whenever SSL_free() is called, the underlying BIO is also
free()ed. As a BIO pair consists of 2 BIOs, only one BIO is freed
automatically, the other one has to be handled by the application.
Are you sure that both BIO objects are left after SSL_free()?
