Hi,

I'm experiencing a memory leak in my server code using openssl 1.0.0g
when a client with a self-signed cert tries to connect and is refused.
Valgrind's massif traces this back to ssl3_get_client_certificate()
at s3_srvr.c:2956, such as the following:

ssl3_read (s3_lib.c:3274)

After the disconnection I'm calling SSL_free() and SSL_CTX_free() but it
looks like the X509 structures allocated by ssl3_get_client_certificate()
are still leaked. Do I need to call something in addition in order to
have this freed? Otherwise I suspect that this is a leak in openssl.

Regards,
Botond
