No, the problem is that these things are broken.
Python is the only major open source project I've encountered where
there's so much hostility to bug reports.
For a while, I tried submitting long, detailed bug reports showing
where in the C code a problem lies, and pointing out ways to fix it.
But I don't want to take over maintenance on the SSL package;
it's too delicate.
