Summary: Program was suspended by calling mailsmtp_free() 

Initial Comment:
Hi, Everybody,

We found a potential problem in current implementation of 
mailstream_socket.c. If there are a lot of file descriptors are 
opened in present machine, the select() function will return 
a negative value. If it returns a negative value, it will cause 
some functions, such as mailsmtp_free(), to do the canceling 
operation. If they are occurred, finally, the program will be 
suspended.

The following information is the stack information when the 
program is suspended.

#0  0xb7f68424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1  0xb78bfc8b in read () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#2  0xb6de3b9f in mailstream_cancel_ack (cancel=0xb3f197a8) at mailstream_cancel.c:158

#5  0xb6de085c in mailstream_flush (s=0xb2afaa68) at mailstream.c:149
#6  0xb6e188b7 in send_command (f=0xb3f14fb8, command=0xb4e48d7b "QUIT\r\n") at mailsmtp.c:841
#7  0xb6e19bb9 in mailsmtp_quit (session=0xb3f14fb8) at mailsmtp.c:190
#8  0xb6e19c98 in mailsmtp_free (session=0xb3f14fb8) at mailsmtp.c:143

We learnt the part codes, and found in file mailstream_ssl.c, 
there are two places have the same problem. A patch file 
can be found within attachment.

Thanks,

Best Regards,
Brandon. Wang
