open-ssl-stream hangs on post

[Anne & Lynn Wheeler]

i'm running ngnus 0.3 on fedora FC3 with open-ssl-stream. openssl is
0.9.7a

reading news works fine w/o problem

when i go to post ... the posting process hangs, hanging emacs (same
symptoms with ognus 0.24). initial reaction is to kill emacs and start
over.

however, i also discovered i can kill openssl process and recover.

i find the openssl process and kill it, gnus appears to do a little
processing (nothing displays, emacs remains hung), restarts openssl
process and then stops again.  i find the openssl process and kill it
again. this time gnus finally comes back and says that the posting
failed.

however, the posting actually did work. problem appears to be some
interaction between gnus and openssl regarding whether something
actually happened or not.
