Comment (by tomgr):

 Replying to [comment:17 khc]:
 > I actually reduced the buf size to 256 at one point, to make sure that
 the code works, and not working by accident. Is this something that only
 fails with Adium's ssl plugin?

 It is indeed something which only happens in Adium, I've never experienced
 it with Pidgin.

 > Are other changes in the diff necessary?

 In a nutshell, yes; at the moment when the code encounters an error whilst
 reading from an SSL socket it discards all the data which it has received.
 The patch above will ensure that it attempts to process whatever data it
 has received so far, even if it has received an error (which is the
 correct behaviour IMO).
