[fetchmail]ssl socket close

2002-01-03 01:14:58
I was testing the idle option for fetchmail. When the server
disconnected after half an hour, fetchmail went in an infinite loop.
ltrace showed that it was doing:

SSL_peek() = 0
ERR_get_error () = 0
SSL_read() = 0

in an infinite loop. This patch should fix the infinite loop:
