 Looking at the Gentoo URL in the original PR, the problem occurs when
 SSL3 is explicitly requested (which I was, in fact, doing).  I can
 reproduce it with s_client if I specify -ssl3.  However, saying
 -no_tls1 works.  So -- it's an upstream openssl issue, and I don't know
 if they regard it as a bug.  I've worked around it in my fetchmail
 configuration, so I no longer care much.
