Is it easy to induce/observe the leak?

I think one possible cheap way to fix the cyclical references is to do this

    self._write_bio = None
    self._write_nbio = None
    self._read_bio = None
    self._read_nbio = None

at a strategic spot, perhaps in close(). This gets rid of the mode test at
every invocation of read/write/send/recv.

What do you think?
