Summary: curl goes into hard loop (sometimes)

Initial Comment:
Using curl 7.9.4 and openssl

Sometimes, curl goes into a hard loop reading from a socket. The socket read returns 0 (meaning
closed), and curl then just tries again. [gathered from an strace/truss of the process]

It appears that this happens in curl_read in the SSL portion of the code. I wonder if the fix is just
as simple as changing nread > 0 to nread >= 0

However, I don't know what the SSL_read returns in this case.

This problem is not very reproducible (it has only happened a couple of times)
