I wonder if there is any way to test this, aside from the tests that are already in the test suite? The bug here is that the code effectively does a blocking read on a non-blocking socket, and we can't tell the difference. The fact that this patch passes all the existing tests and also seems to be a fix (through inspection) may have to be sufficient. After all, the tests for the previous SSL support (Python 2.5 and earlier) were extremely sketchy.
