Having a server with SSLSocket waiting for connections, the incoming connection, failed on automatic do_handshake(), stays open forever — accept() raises the SSLError and does not return client connection socket.

Steps to reproduce
==================

server side:

1. create a SOCK_STREAM socket
2. wrap it with wrap_socket()
3. listen()
4. accept()

client side:

1. telnet to this port
2. enter any random text

How reproducible
================

In all 146%

Expected results
================

1. Incoming connection is closed and client disconnected

Actual results
==============

1. On the server side, due to exception, the reference to the incoming connection gets lost.
2. The client stays connected as long as the server operates.
