    Description

      Radovan Semancik found a bug in the SslHandler class :

      Hello,
      
      Working with Apache Directory API while getting Active Directory schema over SSL uncovered a bug in Mina 2 code. The attempt to read the data ended up in endless loop caused by consecutive overflows from the SSL engine. What is worse, no indication of this condition was passed to the client. The patch is attached.
