This is the bane of C++: it's too easy to write a destructor, so I had one,
and it called SSL_CTX_free(). And this destructor got called when a process
exited (sort of like atexit(3), but a heck lot harder to debug). :)
By the way, this problem is so easy to circumvent that even if you decide
not to change the current behaviour, maybe the manual should be changed to
say that one can use:
SSL_CTX_sess_set_remove_cb(ctx, NULL);
SSL_CTX_free(ctx);
To free a ctx without having the remove callback called.
