This call (would) initialize bio_s_out to point to stdout of the program.
If this is a daemon started from inetd, stdout is the network channel
(-> the output is sent to the peer and will interfere with the normal
SSL connection, causing a failure.)

BIO_s_null() is the equivalent to /dev/null, all output is simply discarded
and sent nowhere.
